A woman stands on the edge of a balcony overlooking the city. Blocky brick buildings squat underneath golden spires with great clocks; cobblestones wobble the edges of distinct lines, ivory grows up the alleyway, and the few distinctly new, sleek metal buildings catch the last rays of light like a gold tooth in an old […]
VICTORIA DALPE: Alone in the woods, some of us find solace. In that solace, some of us find fear – afraid of what lurks in the shadows or what lurks within? Victoria Dalpe is a Rhode Island horror writer. She delves into the complexities of our tortured nature in her book series “Selene Shade: Resurrectionist […]
T he early-evening sun glitters. A low din emanates from a gathering crowd, the clink of glasses set down on the bar clatters like a small orchestra. Light summer wind travels through the open garage doors facing India Point Park — it is 5:30pm at Narragansett Brewery and the air is as golden as the […]
We may agree that the works displayed in the Louvre are classically respected pieces of art, but that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone enjoys them.

On the corner of Hall and Van Zandt Ave in Newport, Overlap Gallery is a small, modernist gallery full of surprises. The artists featured in this month’s exhibit “Counterpoint” are Rhode […]
A fishing boat rests in the middle of the Atlantic. It sways like a piece of driftwood under the heat of the summer sun. The ocean stretches towards the blue horizon, wrapping its curving arms around the earth. The air is tranquil, still for the squawking of gulls and the gentle lapping of water against […]
There exists a house, off Broadway, that rises from a grass courtyard like a colonial bull. It is eggshell white, and its three stories slope and curve with jagged edges and antique designs. Fog hangs around its spires. From the street, the windows peek out like eyeballs. A swath of fabric roams across one window. […]
On the desk sits a pile of paper, neatly disorganized. The blinds are open halfway to let the dusty morning light filter in. Outside, the vacant field is bright under a cold, blue sky.
