         <title>This is Neil Greenberg. Neil Draws Maps.</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.esopusmag.com/archivesubright.php?Id=3466&pID=3458">This is Neil Greenberg</a></p>

<p>"While most in-class student doodles are toe-dips into the stream of consciousness, Neil Greenberg obsessively draws maps. Though these “eight-and-a-half-by-elevens” come straight from his imagination, they often include street names, transit systems—even elaborately conceived bus schedules. Greenberg now works as a transportation planner in the Detroit area. Fritz Swanson, his former English professor, talks to him about what maps do for him, why he makes them, and the deliberate shortcomings of Fake Omaha, one of Greenberg’s imaginary cities"</p>]]></description>

         <title>For the Love of Paul Bunyan</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>For the Love of Paul Bunyan<br />
by Fritz Swanson<br />
(originally appeared in <a href="http://www.pindeldyboz.com/fsbunyan.htm">Pindeldyboz</a>. Was later included in <a href="http://bestamericanfantasy.com/">Best American Fantasy</a>.)</p>

<p>She was tender. Soft as a sand dune after a windstorm.</p>

<p>Back in the before days, she would wake up and stretch those arms out across the sky, her left hand arched over the Baffin Islands, her right curled up under her jaw, her elbow casting a swaying shadow over the Jack Pine Forests of Saskatchewan. She was a tangle of stretching and yawning, and I would let slip a quiet sigh from where I lay, snuggled down along the south shore of Lake Erie, my head pillowed up on the Adirondacks.</p>]]></description>

         <title>The Invisible Girl</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Invisible Girl<br />
by Fritz Swanson<br />
(Originally Appeared in <a href="http://www.bgsu.edu/studentlife/organizations/midamericanreview/swanson.html">The Mid-American Review</a>)</p>

<p>      I've collected comics since I was little, when I would read Spider-Man without any sense of irony, and when I would get turned on by Gwen Stacy dying. <br />
      She was a pretty girl, Spider-Man's second girlfriend. She wore a big black plastic band that pulled her blond hair back. She wore minidresses and held her books up to her breasts. She wore black boots as she fell from the Brooklyn Bridge, her body like a supple bag of bones, the weight of her head and her shoulders pulling her riverward.</p>]]></description>
