LETTER FROM HOME
A map to spring grace Where tulips greet dark
T
he woodstove that keeps heat in this cabin has changed into a sleeping bear. A match put to the teepee of crumpled newspaper and kindling offered an hour of warmth two mornings ago, and I approved. The flames were easily coaxed, miserly with woodpile leftovers, quickened by low humidity and higher temperatures. I went back to bed but then got up later to add in sticks of juniper, a woman in a white robe, hurrah! My silk long underwear are put aside at last. T he woodstove beginning its deep sleep is not Jean a surprise. My Vermont Rukkila Castings Resolute has doors that swing open for watching flame, and it has been gulping wood and burping heat, savored by all my cheeks through all the winter months, but now there it is next to my bill-paying desk, inert, deeply quiet, calm. A sturdy dragon breathing flame is changed to a dark box taking up floor space. A metallic churner of oak is put to sleep by longer daylight hours of full sun and a dimming of overnight freezing. (But of course, there might be snow in June …) Yesterday after bringing a bunch of tulips home from the Fry’s grocery, I launched spring cleaning by sorting a desk drawer and then dusting and straightening shelves of journals. There I came across words by Rainer Maria Rilke inked on the back of a notebook. “It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart,” he wrote. (But where did he put these words? In letter, poem or essay? My magnet journals don’t always include the background of the sentences that catch my fancy. I copy words out just to see the gesticulations of the letter forms, I guess, to notice what sense looks like dancing to the tune of my own handwriting.) I read a few more of my pages from l998, I walked down to the mailbox with a letter, and then I put a roast in the crockpot, glad to think ahead to a window cracked open to evening light and a dinner at a table 4 | flaglive.com | April 7-13, 2016
of this ruined house. — translated by Jane Hirshfield and Mariko Aratami from The Ink Dark Moon It is not a child’s poem, not a song of festive carefree play. But I am not a child. I’ve had years of seeing how winter brooding arm wrestles with summer celebration. I know the glowing yellow of the five tulips on my kitchen table earned their grace and color from living through a time as bulbs in cold dark dirt. My living has taught me that. The sleepless hunched hour of the coldest night in winter will be barely remembered by a naked heart happy to greet a silky dawn in summer. A shelf full of journals shows me how I despaired and yet thrived through good and bad. What poem of my own did I write in that journal where I copied out Rilke, nearly 20 years ago? I invented these lines whimsically and then forgot them:
Cabin tulips. Photo by the author with candles and color instead of stove stoking. As a poet relieved to feel hibernating in this cabin begins to ease, I spend the day writing but also put rugs on the porch railing and beat them, change out heavy blankets for lighter ones, and tenderly stroke the many small acts that are the web of householding. After a hot bath I lean over my toes examining each one as if they’d just grown out of my feet, just arrived in time for warm day walks with new green; oh the expeditions I’ll make soon to watch flowers waving arms, to pause with bird sounds looping through treetops. I consider painting each nail a different color so my feet might make rainbow footsteps through the lengthening days. I feel permeable again. My inside world stretches to embrace outside air. There is a pine threedrawer cabinet—a chipped bargain from
IKEA—that needs staining. Maybe that can go on cardboard on the porch tomorrow. Two geraniums want potting. Irises tucked between rocks outside are beginning to do that bulge at the top of green brushstrokes that hints purple. What are those tiny birds that creep down the trees, faces exploring bark? Was that a cardinal’s shrill voice? Oh, I know the winds are coming, planet air will do that vast inhale and exhale that is a less appealing part of spring glee. But here is the poem I’ll memorize because it comforts me, it teaches me, quite a lot for a mere five lines to do, but with spring exuberance, I give in to it, a tanka by Izumi Shikibu of 11th century Japan: Although the wind blows terribly here, the moonlight also leaks between the roof planks
Flow, the stream chuckled, (Though your head hurts, your knees buckle,) Is not a hard thing. (Don’t listen to those suits!) Balance, the cottonwoods whispered, Is the dance of the green treetop with its dark roots. What fun to savor my handwriting. I want to memorize more poems: Rilke’s poems, poems from other centuries, my poems. And I want to bend my ear to the dark and return wiser, able to smile at what I do and don’t understand. Poems teach me to be all-embracing. I want to keep learning that trust by heart. This spring as open doors mean the outdoors can be invited indoors to tea, I’m going to sip poems, go for walks and wake up again and again.

LETTERS TO DUCEY
Stardust Sandys Canyon to Fisher Point Dear Governor Ducey, You have to drive around most of the city to get to Lake Mary Road from our house. I’ve spent a lot of time riding my bike between my house and campus to know Lake Mary is closer by trail than by road, but still not that close. Erik and I took Max and Zoe and the news dogs, Bear and Zora, to Sandys Canyon Trail. It was late February. The trail dropping into the canyon was covered in ice. Zoe skated down. Max and I climbed up and Nicole around off trail, apoloWalker gizing to the grass as we swung above the trail. A couple of miles in, we arrived at a sign that said Fisher Point. I remembered it from the time I’d come down, maybe exactly a year ago—although there had been no ice then. That year there had barely been any snow. “We should walk all the way home; we could get the other car.” Erik looked at six year old Max and 12 week old Bear. “I don’t think they’ll make it,” Erik said. “I want to do it,” Zoe said. “Is that cool? I’ll take Zoe and Zora? You take Bear and Max back to the car?” I said. “You know the way?” Erik replied. “Two miles from here to Fisher point. About two miles from there to Lake Elaine, then two miles home. We can do it. My phone works out here.”
that we wouldn’t mind a ride home. I’m reading Craig Childs’ House of Rain. He traces the migration and the disappearance of people living in the Southwest in the 1300s, 1400s and 1500s. He wonders if maybe they who left early had a hint of what was coming. Although many anthropologists think people left primarily because of drought, Childs thinks it was a combination of drought and too many people drawing on too few resources. He wonders if people brought too-different, possibly too-violent, social practices together, unweaving once-stable social fabrics. While Erik was at the Bernie Sanders rally, I was reading how you signed into law House Bill 1487. The one that forbids local cities from passing ordinances of which the state doesn’t approve. This reeks of hypocrisy: Aren’t you members of the government that doesn’t like the federal government telling States what to do? If Flagstaff wants to ban plastic bags, how does that hurt you (Oh yeah, you have cam-
paign donors in the plastic industry). Ironically, I feel the way you must sometimes; when the federal government insists you spend money on children and the homeless. Shackled. Hobbled. I feel like saying to you what Princess Leia says to Darth Vader: “The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.” But then I look at the star systems—they’re really just sand. I pick up some sand that was once Kaibab sandstone and think, everything falls apart. Entire cultures living in Walnut Canyon. Entire copses of trees. Entire climate systems. (Where is the snow?) You and I just see things so differently—a government that helps versus a government that hinders. I do feel the hand of your government constricting around my throat. I don’t know if this might be the end of our social fabric as we know it or just this particularly hypocritical one. I do know that when I look out at the Ponderosas, I see needles turning brown, plastic bags hanging in branches like tattered rags.
I feel like saying to you what Princess Leia says to Darth Vader: ‘The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.’ But then I look at the star systems—they’re really just sand.

She edited, with Margot Singer, Bending Genre: Essays on Creative Nonfiction, and is the recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment from the Arts. The thoughts expressed here are hers alone and not necessarily those of her employer. This letter is from March 26, 2016.
So we were off. We had lots of water, a map on an iPhone, and a dog that probably needs to run 30 miles a day anyway. The trail is sandy, the canyon’s sides are substantial, with cliffs of Kaibab Limestone and Coconino Sandstone. We walked deeper, toward Walnut Canyon. I can imagine how water had cut this channel. The Sinagua lived here, because of that water. The river is dammed now, making Lake Mary and supplying Flagstaff. There used to be walnut trees down here but, without the river, the trees are long gone. Not as long gone as the Sinagua, but just as gone. Zoe and I don’t follow the Walnut Canyon Trail but turn left and hike up toward Fisher Point. From there it’s a straight shot, although a long slog, through Ponderosa Pine forest, which is still here, but, as the snow pack diminishes every year, may not be much longer. We hit Forest Road 301B so I know where we are. Erik calls. He’s worried about us. Zoe and I admit, six miles in,

Villainous V
aud and the Villains may have come up in the smoggy stacks of Los Angeles, but this eclectic dynamo of a musical stage show is well versed in the ways of New Orleans lore. The 19-piece group, with actor-musician Vaud Overstreet and his wife Peaches Mahoney at the helm, has been dazzling audiences nationwide, augmenting their 1930s-era artistic orchestra and cabaret show since their start five years ago. With ragtime throwback tunes and attire to rival any Bourbon Street legend, Vaud and his collection of Villains maraud their way through the legend-bearers themselves like Marie Laveau—the serial killer immortalized in pop-culture songs and television including Kathy Bates’ character in season three of the ever-popular American Horror Story. But it’s no horrorshow for this group that amalgamates sultry dance and Prohibition-era swing that would make Satchmo himself, Mr. Louie Armstrong, proud. Over three albums of swinging, the Villains came out hot in 2011 with Sin and Tonic, Vol. 1 and followed it up with the second volume in 2013. Last year, 14 tracks called Original Salvation took listeners on a journey through time and tale with a full cast of characters and orchestra sections replete with string and wild bass overtures. Prepare to put some swing in your step with the live version at the Green Room, 15 N. Agassiz, with Heartwood opening up the night after the doors do the same at 8 p.m. Ages 21-and-over show. Tickets are $15. To learn more, call 226-8669 or visit www.vaudandthevillains.com.
These days, the bluegrass market is flooded with every band and their mother buying up real estate in the old-time genre, and it’s a breath of fresh air when a group comes along with their own spin to blast away the humdrum tune everyone’s singin’. A five-piece lake effect blast called Dead Winter Carpenters embody this fresh air with their down home sound born of the shores of Lake Tahoe. Their style blends old-fashioned American roots with a tinge of alt-country and a handful of rock ‘n’ roll to bestow upon listeners a pleasant musical gift. Their players take to the drums, fiddle, upright bass and lyrically-plucked guitar to hand-build this gift from the ground up and wrap it all up in a uniquely harmonized bow. It’s a happy time when everyone in the band can lend a little vocal work, and their lyrics match the spirit of the tune and range from the uplifting and airy to nitty-gritty tales amassed from lives spent circling the country—and their latest record, Washoe, which dropped in late February is no different. Tucson barn storming machine Run Boy Run join this double bill with John Carpino opening at the Orpheum Theater, 15 W. Aspen. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the party kicks up at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 the day of the show. All ages. 556-1580. www. deadwintercarpenters.com and www.runboyrunband.com.
SHAKESPEAREAN SWAGGER The Bard [of Avon] to beat all bards may have died 400 years ago as of April 23, but the spirit of William Shakespeare is alive and well as Northern Arizona University’s College of Arts and Letters seeks to wrap up their semester-long celebration with Shakespeare Alive! The multi-disciplinary event compiled by NAU Theatre, Todd Sullivan of the School of Music, and CAL Dean Michael Vincent honors the indelible mark Shakespeare made on the literary arts and the way we’ve come to understand the English language. If you’ve ever described addiction, assassination or spoke of a cold-blooded lover— thank ol’ Will. Even the Bedazzler—yes, even that silly machine that be-dazzles your worn duds with sparkly studs owes its pop-culture name to Shakespeare’s invented terms. So sit back, relax and enjoy this eventful (yet another Bardism) hullabaloo of excerpts of Othello, musical pieces and sonnet readings at Ardrey Auditorium, 1115 S. Knoles Drive, on the NAU
Hot Picks campus. The free show begins at 7:30 p.m. with free parking available in Lot P13, next to the Performing and Fine Arts Building and Cline Library. 523-3781. www.nau.edu/cal/theatre/events.
7 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. 556-1580. www.gcwolfrecovery.org.

The smell of leather, to some but not all, is akin to petrichor’s earthy scent post-monsoon storm. And with the versatile medium that can be tooled into any utilitarian’s dream, wouldn’t it be lovely to learn how to work it? The Leather-Working Class for Beginners has just what you need to put that hide down, flip it and reverse it—and leave with something you made with your own two hands. All it takes is a guiding mind already well-versed in the ways of leather—in this case master leatherworker Dennis Chavez—plus a handful of special tools and a creative idea that can work on gifts or stuff just for you from bags to belts, decorative ties for hats and so, so much more. Tool away at the Market of Dreams, 2532 E. 7th Ave, from noon–3 p.m. This hands-on class is for anyone who wants to learn the art of leather-working, and all materials are provided. A $5 donation is suggested. 213-5900.
IT’S WORTH IT, WORK IT
BACK IN BLACK AND WHITE
You ever have those moments when you see something that completely takes you by surprise and grabs—no, holds—your complete attention? For example: When a person of small stature wearing full-size rollerblades up past the knees effortlessly glides stride for stride down the sidewalk like a gazelle running through a savanna? Or perhaps like when a guy with a head full of dreads—who happens to be musically talented down to his very core—rides a unicycle through a local bar whilst owning every note on an accordion? We’re not saying the former has never happened—it has, but the later ... we know for a fact that’s gone down right here in Flag. Last March a little four-piece outfit out of El Dorado Hills, Calif., known as Island of Black and White left their first tracks here in town to the tune of four downtown bars over the course of as many days. For anyone who might have caught them, we need not tell you of their musical chops. Held together by frontman Chris Haislet (the guy on unicycle playing the accordion) and drummer Nawal Alwareeth, this now five-piece is more than just on-stage bar theatrics, they know how to jam on a bevy of instruments including keyboard and melodica, laying on thick the funky yet soulful rock, reggae and blues vibes. Well, the good news is they’re back for Round 2, and we can only imagine it’ll be just as fun the second time around. Dancing feet can find a home when IBW once again lights up Hops on Birch, 22 E. Birch, for the first show of their spring tour. The show is free99 at starts at 9 p.m. For more, dial 774-4011 or visit www. islandofblackandwhite.com.

Not long after her sighting, a Utah hunter shot and killed Echo, and reinforced the importance of organizations like the Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project. The non-profit workers have been educating the public through film with the Wild & Scenic Film Festival for seven years running—and they show no signs of slowing. This year’s celebration will feature seven short films highlighting the importance of wildlife and conservation. A number of participating organizations will have information tables set up while guests enjoy a raffle and silent auction plus music from Ricky Ray. This year’s featured film is Medicine of the Wolf. Filmmaker Julia Huffman garnered a number of awards at film festivals across the country for her striking documentary that spreads into Minnesota wolf territory with National Geographic photographer Jim Brandenburg who has been photographing and studying wolves for 45 years.

EDITOR’S HEAD
In memoriam: Rafe Sweet III
I
n the past month many of us have stood idle as a few of our community’s shining creative spirits have fallen. The latest was Rafe Sweet III, a well-known fixture and all-around positive influence in the local music scene, who passed away on Wed, March 23. In the wake of his passing, I received the following letter from Derek Whorton, a longtime friend and guitar student of Rafe’s, which I’d like to share with our readers.
A
t principle, I did not comprehend the promethean gravity of why Rafe asked me what senses or emotions were evoked after playing a scale on the lowly guitar. This man taught me conceptually what I can only describe as chromatic synesthesia, the ability to induce an emotional signal transduction cascade in others Andrew by way of an intimate Wisniewski understanding of sound frequencies around us. He entrusted a wisdom to myself and countless others in this manner that centuries ago was punishable by death for merely riffing in the Locrian mode. Years later, it became apparent to me the circles of fifths and an appreciation for the half and fully diminished modes, whether specific scales or simply a fellow human being, were the nucleus of the musical, transcending knowledge given to those of us fortunate to have known this remarkable person. First having met Rafe through a high school guitar class, I recall him boldly proclaiming he could figure out any riff we threw at him provided we bring in some music the next time he was to visit. Figuring Pantera’s Cowboys From Hell and Metallica’s Master of Puppets could potentially stump this gentleman, the class was quickly met with a play-along session after he laughed excitedly and respectfully announced he was capable of playing Master of Puppets all the way through. No one could believe their eyes while he blasted through “Battery” then seamlessly into the title track, and it served as an important lesson for we young artists in how technically advanced one could be as a musician. Indeed, though he did struggle a bit in figuring out the solo to “Domination” 8 | flaglive.com | April 7-13, 2016
on Cowboys from Hell, it was inspiring to see perseverance in action and he eventually nailed it. Shortly after and right before the bell, of course with love and calculated mischief, Rafe, a few others and I cranked up the intro to the aforementioned song to get a rise out of our guitar teacher, Mrs. Hill, who had trouble scolding us because the collective mangy lot of us vagrants were laughing too hard at her reaction. Yet, in the end we were all smiling—the benevolence of Rafe radiating through the mildest tribulation to illuminate the way. The composition in which he played a key role in my development as a musician required the purchase of a seven-string guitar, dropped tuning in an unusual key, and several months of patient practice. The piece itself was “Ebony Tower” by Nonexist, a metal outfit who ironically embodies their namesake. The most important aspect of the learning process was the fact that I needed to not only learn the entire song, but then teach my friends Mike on guitar and practice the esoteric rhythms with Adam on drums so we could play it live together. Without Rafe, there was not a remote chance I could have transcribed this piece by myself, since it demanded substantial command of chromatic synethesia and the inherent retrosynthetic gateways available to complex music transcription processes through an understanding of this concept. Ultimately, when we retract from ourselves and perceive not from the individual but rather on the community scale, adiabatic bonds of consanguinity nurture and strengthen our collective heartbreak for the loss of a wisdomkeeper who knew the true meaning of musica universalis. It is our duty to honor Rafe not only in our continued passion for the music he taught or played with us, but in reflection of his conduct, loyalty, kindness and ethical axioms, truths surviving the crucible of experience. We are obligated to recall his legacy in our actions, to keep his divine spark torrid through respect of his memory, and committed as guardians of the pathways our forefather tread to keep them from becoming forgotten and overgrown. We miss you, brother, and for those of us in mourning who sojourn for tranquility, make peace. If you seek Rafe’s monument, look around you.

While the likelihood of this idea coming to fruition seems unlikely, who wouldn’t love to see that happen? (That was a rhetorical question. Obviously we all would.) If you think my idea’s a bit lofty, so be it. Take the boring route and write letters or go talk to city council members, advocating for more bike lanes around town and laws protecting cyclists. Go take a class on the rules of the road and how to do basic fixes like changing a tire. Bike to work, not just during the one national “Bike to Work” week (May 22–27), but all the time. We can form a coalition of Pee-Wee Herman bike riders, replete with tassels, obnoxious squeaky horns, and outrageous outfits, to join the sleek cyclists. And start the revolution.

Dan Stoffel I gotta tell ya, I’m not as excited for 2016’s summer crop as I have been for past summers. I’m tiring of all the superhero fare, and the other blockbusters aren’t really revving my engines—with a few exceptions. Suicide Squad (Aug 5) is one of those exceptions. Whoever did those trailers is really, really good at what they do, because I’m hooked. I don’t read comics so am not familiar with most of the characters … Deadshot? Rick Flag? Captain Boomerang (really?!)? But that’s OK— the movie looks fun and violent, two of my favorite things. The fifth Jason Bourne movie will be the fourth starring Matt Damon, and Paul Greengrass, who directed the second and third installments in the series, is back as well. I was impressed with the first three films (the fourth, with Jeremy Renner and no Damon, not so much), and am happy to see Damon back in the franchise (though I hear Renner will also be back for another “Bourne Universe” film). And now to let the shaming begin: I’m really looking forward to Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (May 20). Neighbors (2014), starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne (who really has some comedic chops), was laugh-outloud funny, and though sequels are usually nothing but trouble, I’m holding out some hope. Finally, it may be cheating because it had a limited release in March, and it may not be big and blockbuster-y enough to make it to our sleepy little town, but I really want to see Midnight Special.

MUSIC
The long goodbye LCD Soundsystem says hello. Again. Adrienne Bischoff ne summer day in 2010, I was strolling through a modern art museum in Montreal. It housed a mixed media exhibition including video installations. I walked into the darkened room lit only by the TV screen which played several short videos on a loop. Silhouetted figures crowded around the screen, many seated on the floor; it felt more sleepover than museum, which is why I stuck around. Mirroring its spectators on the floor was a silhouette on the screen, at once visible and invisible. In the background played “Someone Great” by LCD Soundsystem. That one song, a lost-love song you can both dance and cry to, made me an insta-fan. Just add water. Given LCD Soundsystem’s popularity despite a relatively small oeuvre—they have just three studio albums—its millions of fans also must have fallen in love instantaneously and deeply. Lucky for us, James Murphy, aka LCD Soundsystem, is looking back. Even though he announced in 2011 that he was leaving the band—himself?—to pursue other endeavors; even though he played a four hour-long farewell concert at Madison Square Garden; and even though he starred in 2012’s Shut Up and Play the Hits, a documentary about his farewell concert night and the anticlimactic day after, Murphy is getting the band—himself!—back together. And he’s doing it with a vengeance. Name just about any music festival this year and LCD Soundsystem is headlining it: Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, FYF Fest, Bonnaroo. OK, maybe not Hullabaloo, but you can still enjoy some LCD without leaving Flagstaff: On Thu, April 7, the Orpheum Theater is screening Shut Up and Play the Hits. Whether it inspires you to head out to Coachella later this month to see them live, or figure out just what the big deal is, at only $5, it’s one of the best ways to check out the band. Before founding, then disbanding and reuniting LCD Soundsystem, Murphy had a long career as a DJ, sound engineer, and co-founder of DFA Records. That long career and his age—he was 35 when the band released its eponymous debut—likely contributed to the band’s immediate success. His albums highlight a

also contributed to its early demise. Murphy wanted to do more than just front a band but the demands of LCD kept him from those other pursuits. When he told Stephen Colbert in his “last” televised appearance as LCD Soundsystem that he wanted time to make coffee, he wasn’t joking. He teamed up with Blue Bottle Coffee, based in Oakland, Calif., to make his own roast, “House of Good.” And with support from Heineken, he started a campaign called Subway Symphony, which hopes to make riding the New York City subway system a little more pleasant. Or, at least, a little less shrill. Currently, the turnstiles emit a sound that Murphy describes on SubwaySymphony. org as “a dissonant rubbing-Styrofoam-on-glass squeak.” He has proposed to change the LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy.

Gut Churn Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad illuminates the pressures of creativity By Diandra Markgraf
A
pproach someone— anyone— on the street and ask if they’ve ever had a group conversation implode into a mind-bending coil of a conversation until they’re suddenly swaying, seeing stars surround and compose the universe and something— anything—in it. The depth of the ocean; the sound of a train roaring down tracks. Even a middle schooler has had these conversations, whether they recognized prattling with their friends about the blue sky and whether you can see the shapes inside it or not was any sort of philosophical bender. But where we typically hold these conversations in the comfort of our own homes, over a pint, or within the cozy glow of a fire pit, there are some people out there this very moment on our blip of a timeline jostling these ideas loose from magazine articles and strange conversation, and sending them on a dizzying journey over public radio waves.
Jad Abumrad’s familiar voice carries over the telephone wire from his New York City office at WNYC Public Radio. Listening to him is exactly as one who’s tuned in to 91.7 FM—KNAU Arizona Public Radio—Friday evenings since the aughts would imagine. He pauses, inflects and delivers in the Abumrad style on the award-winning public radio syndication and podcast, Radiolab. Since its start in 2005, Abumrad and co-host Robert Krulwich have skewered abstract topics, zigzagging across broad boundaries through interviews with incredible experts and sounds of life that, as a musician, Abumrad composes in the show’s patchwork soundscape. Now, the multi-member editorial team has diversified their weekly discussions to include new species found in the wild or those thought to be extinct that are no more; friendship and race—all pullung in multi-disciplinary dialogue between the facets of the show and its millions of listeners. Abumrad calls up the show’s current projects. “1, 2, 3 … 20,” he counts. “Let’s say 30.” Each episode produces knee-jerk laughs, tears and considerable “What the?” moments. But before Radiolab enters the ears of almost 2 million listeners a week on air and in podcast format, certain depth propels the program ever forward in creativity: Gut Churn.
The churn
Nine years into Radiolab, Abumrad was asked to describe its beginnings, but struggled to focus on the blur. So, he turned to the show’s co-creator and asked his opinion. He recalls, “There’s a 10-second pause, and he said, ‘Gut churn.’” “I wanted to tell that story but also understand how these feelings of uncertainty and doubt play into the creative process,” Abumrad says. April. 7-13, 2016 | flaglive.com | 15

And churning is strong in the creative process littered with anxiety and elation. Not every Radiolab plan is a surefire hit. Abumrad says the team’s March 11 episode on race in debate, called “Debatable,” made them all so nervous they sent it out for listener feedback two days before deadline. And no one got it. “We got the worst feedback,” Abumrad says. “We went into two days basically of gut churn.” But releasing the episode into the world and the process behind it lent insight into why it didn’t work in the first place, and how they needed to learn this “small s**t” that offers perspective for both creator and listener. On stage, Abumrad tells a few of these gut churning stories. “My whole creative journey is filled with these moments where it’s really painful, and then on the other end you have this thought which you didn’t have before,” he says. “You know this thing that’s going to help you avoid this problem in the future.” 16 | flaglive.com | April 7-13, 2016
then someone grabbing your little brain To tell the story of Radiolab and and shaking it, and then just throwing those sickening, yet so-damn-worthyour perspective into a new space. That it bouts with creativity, Abumrad has feeling of having your mind changed interwoven segments from interviews becomes very addictive, I with Cherokee shamans, find,” Abumrad says. psychoanalysts and But Abumrad neuroscientists.

Delicate balance
This entire idea stems from multiple points in the process where the story separates into one production member taking one side of the argument, and immediately, Abumrad says, another team member will assume the counterpoint. The motif threads all the way into editing where a particular cut will tilt the story on its axis and play with the listeners’ perspectives—like they’ve been living at sea for a year and finally returned to land. This style of radio presentation is not a stumble-through. Those 30 stories Abumrad mentioned? Some are close to wrapping while others are a single sentence. In the team’s brainstorming sessions, they discuss what they’ve read and have heard on the street— anything that sends a shockwave of interest. They even accept listener-submitted ideas. Abumrad explains working on these stories over a drawn-out timeframe, the team has to marry them. There’s the honeymoon stage, then you want to kill the person, but a spark usually reignites the love. Other ideas peter out on their own.

“You go through those same emotional arcs with these stories,” he says. “We have a ton of these ideas, like one-note stories. If I just had two other things to say, this would be great, but I just have one thing to say. So you put it in orbit and let it float around for a year, then something happens in the universe … and you put the two together. It starts to progress at that point.” Abumrad explains Radiolab’s future will further topical scientific exploration, but his hope is to dive into the social, too, like with “Debatable.” And as the team connects with each other, it is for listeners’ benefit—and the future of public radio and podcasting in general—while adding to the philosophical conversation he and Krulwich are steering less and less. “I want to be engaged in the world. I want the show to be engaged with the world. And that means getting out, going out of the studio; trying to get into social topics that are really messy where there isn’t an answer,” Abumrad says, adding he and Krulwich spare the pontificating
in each episode’s final moments. “Now what we do is create these open spaces at the end of stories where you can have your own thoughts. Sometimes it works really well to do that; sometimes people feel like they need something to grasp onto. I just feel like I’m tired of hearing us make meaning of stuff because the stuff that’s increasingly interesting to us, it’s almost like vapor. You can’t quite hold it. I think it’ll inhabit the brains of the people listening in a way that’s infinitely more interesting than anything I could say.”
Deeper and deeper
And in this vein, the future of Radiolab of public radio in general is shifting, mainly thanks to podcasts. Abumrad notes that at any given moment—not five feet down any street in America—there’s a fairly solid chance two people are splicing together a podcast. “The universe has just exploded and now there’s so much interesting stuff happening that’s just flooding this space. With that you get all the interesting
sounds from two people chatting in a garage to crazy, mind-altering, what-the[expletive]-am-I-listening-to narrative stuff like Love and Radio—all the gap in between. Cordoning off radio for a second, I hope all that stuff infects the public radio world.” Documentary storytelling itself has shifted to include in-depth, humaninterest segments like Abumrad’s frequent collaborator Ira Glass and the crazypopular This American Life and Sarah Koenig’s Serial, which Glass produces. Abumrad says the next generation is asking the right questions that will lead to sharing evocative, meaningful stories surrounding our humanness—without the heaping side of boredom. And he hopes Radiolab fits in to this ever-changing puzzle. “I think people just want to go deep now, but they want it to be told in a way that’s colorful, with personality,” he explains. “I love the fact documentary’s just getting better every day. And I hope public radio can keep up with it all.”
Jad Abumrad will illuminate all facets of Gut Churn at NAU’s Ardrey Auditorium, 1115 S. Knoles Drive, on Sat, April 9. Doors for the all-ages show open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for students, $30 for faculty and $35 for the general public.

ARTS
Masters of the discarded Artists’ Coalition brings things around with the 14th annual Recycled Art Show
Chandelier by Dennis Taylor. Photos by Seth Muller Seth Muller or the Artists’ Coalition of Flagstaff, its Annual Recycled Art Exhibition is about lost and discarded things found—and then reimagined into art. In one striking and straightforward example of this, artist Travis Iurato created what he called the Sunnyside Sculptures. The works featured a specific arrangement of found bottles, old skateboards and clothing presented in an almost Duchamp-like, Dada-esque way. The array of objects was presented artistically, but also in a way that challenges the concept of recycled art and what it could be. “100% of the materials to make these pieces were found in Sunnyside, Flagstaff, where I live,” Iurato shares in an artist’s statement. “Most came out of the woods west of Izabel St. I hope to evoke the special feelings & mood this neighborhood gives me.” Iurato’s work is one of around 100 accepted pieces into the 14th annual Recycled Art Exhibit. And this year has seen two big changes. One is that the Flagstaff Mall, the relatively new home of the Artists’ Coalition of Flagstaff’s gallery, will be the location of

the event for the first time. The other is that the Artists’ Coalition invited artists from Yavapai County to participate for the second year. This allowed Dennis Taylor of Chino Valley to submit his eye-catching piece, Chandelier, this year. Other artists from Verde Valley, Sedona and beyond are also part of the collection, which includes around 100 pieces. Along with a new cadre of artists, Mike Frankel, executive director of the Coalition, and other members expect to open it up to a new audience with the change in venue. “We’re still going to see the people who have come to shows in the past, but the mall and the traffic here is going to open up the exhibition to a whole other group of people,” he says. The Artists’ Coalition also has formed a strong partnership with Hozhoni Foundation, an organization in town that assists developmentally disabled adults and has a strong arts program as well. The Recycled Art Exhibit displayed at their gallery last year. In terms of style and themes of the Recycled Arts this year, Frankel notes that a lot of
Rus Rose’s Clothespin Art. pieces have a strong “industrial quality” to them, some of them almost appearing inspired by steampunk—where anachronistic science fiction meets 19th century industrial aesthetics.
“We do have a number of pieces of art that carry strong political statements,” Frankel explains. “We have art that deals with pollution, global warming and gun control. We also have one piece about overpopulation.
Hearts and Flowers Ensemble by Dudley Bacon. It’s a meld of political statements that are in there, but we also have several pieces of abstract work and art for art’s sake.” One of the contributing artists to the show, Dudley Bacon of Flagstaff, submitted a piece called Hearts and Flowers Ensemble. It’s a prime example of how art with recycled materials can be rich and complex and it won this year’s Best Use of Material and the Elegance award. “I spend about 60 or 80 hours over three months making it,” Bacon says. “I used egg cartons and boxes from my Internet shopping habit. I also used magazines and catalogues and a wood burner to help create it.” The detailed work is played to striking effect, with the texture of the cardboard and the tightly knotted magazine pages creating intricate flowers. The approach to art with the cardboard and paper products shows the blend of imagined reuse and artistic creativity. “Quite a few people show up at Recycled Art and a light bulb goes off. They get an idea in their head and they show up with a piece next year,” Frankel says. “It really stimulates people in that way … You don’t have to be

lites tend to be … well, elite. As in, “clueless” about what your everyday working stiff is thinking. Most hoity-toities don’t even think or care about what the great unwashed think, but cluelessness about the masses can be disastrous for political elites. Today’s Republican establishment, for example, now finds that it is so out of touch with regular voters that it faces a howlJim Hightower ing, Category-5 hurricane that’s threatening to implode the Grand Old Party. None of the elites saw Hurricane Donnie coming, and with the blow-hard now raging at full force, the GOP’s upper-crusters still don’t seem to know what hit them, much less what to do about it. They are so out of it that they even tried to blunt his surge by having Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush rush out and say bad things about The Donald, imploring voters to turn their backs on him. To see these two buttoned-down pillars of the moneyed establishment huffing and puffing at the storm was hilarious—and as hopeless as them trying to blow away a real hurricane. What the aloof, affluent leaders of the Republican Party don’t get is that the
source of the storm is not Trump, but infuriated, rank-and-file, working-class voters who feel betrayed by them. None other than Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, the Koch brothers, the corporate CEOs and lobbyists, Mitt & Jeb, and the other welloff swells who run the GOP are the ones who’ve stripped the party of any blue-collar appeal. And they have corporatized governors like Scott Walker and Rick Snyder, running over working families. These GOP elites are single-mindedly pushing a plutocratic agenda of trade scams, tax cuts for the rich and subsidies for runaway corporations, while constantly slashing at Social Security, Medicare, and other programs that their own non-affluent voters need. The Party powers now wail that Trump is stealing their voters. But he’s not—he’s just picking up the people the GOP elites threw away.

With summer around the corner, it’s time for a new airbrushed masterpiece on the custom van. I’m thinking a wizard riding a black stallion, engulfed in blue and purple flames and surrounded by a galaxy of stars. The wizard holds high a crystal ball, and in the reflection is your mom.
