If Beckett's ballooning structures represent a temporal and psychological entrapment that his protagonists wish to escape, the fugal structures of sacred harp singing create a kind of counterpoint - an eternal (albeit short-lived) experiential structure in which its participants wish to remain.

Third Attempt

Hi everyone

I've asked this question three times now and the post keeps disappearing.

Who selects the work that goes on the front page of rhizome?

Thanks.
