LibriVox A Temporary Madness - June 14, 2011 A Temporary MadnessD.J. and Dylan on Father's Day. David John Thomas liked to drink alone. Author Paul Ferris illustrated the point in his biography Dylan Thomas with a portrait of David John alone in a corner table at his local Welsh pub, the Bush. As a boy, D.J. was a promising student. From childhood, Dylan Thomas accepted the poet’s life as his fate and set out to prove that his father’s rage, along with his love of language, would live on. Though it is a poem about anger, “Do not go gentle into that good night" is not an angry poem despite its iconic line: “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” It was in rage that Dylan and D.J. could lose themselves.

Edgar Allan Poe, short stories, tales, and poems Dossier Journal: Read » Poetry-Fiction-Theory-Critique Down at Portland’s Central Precinct, down three floors, three cops sit slack-jawed staring at the biggest flat screen TV I have ever seen. A deep TV narrator voice says, “Lil’ Rick’s crippin’ had gone too far. The balancing act was torture.” It’s 10 til four, and the cops lounge around a long table, the kind we use at work for important meetings. I’m here for a ride-along with Officer Chad Stensgaard — a cop who spent a day in court last month after parking in a no-parking zone to eat dinner and watch the Blazers game. “It just went downtown for a few years,” Chad says, handing over a bullet-proof vest. I put on the vest. Chad is young, studly with a spikey handsome-man haircut. It’s 5:30, a Thursday night in the middle of June. “The commander thought I could use some good publicity,” Chad tells me. I’m not sure what to say back to him, so I don’t say anything. Chad pulls up next to a No Trespassing sign alongside a curb in front of the restaurant. She says her name is Angela.
