  • Invisible Cities Sketches 2001

    Delightful and insightful short essays based on Italo Calvino's marvelous book, Invisible Cities.  The assignment was to write an "invisible cities" piece that retains the imaginative spirit of Calvino but uses as its raw elements urban resources, issues, problematics more familiar to the students' own experiences, especially in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
