What Looks Like an Elephant
Poetry. WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN ELEPHANT is not a question, but the title of a groundbreaking full-length poetry book by Ed Nudelman containing over 80 poems dealing with ambiguities and paradoxes in experience—how impressions of certainty and doubt affect everyday life.

Kitch examines the years from 1895 to 1930 as a time when the first wave of feminism intersected with the rise of new technologies and media for the reproduction and dissemination of visual images. Access to suffrage, higher education, the professions, and contraception broadened women's opportunities, but the images found on magazine covers emphasized the role of women as consumers: suffrage was reduced to spending, sexuality to sexiness, and ...
