I am Jennifer Dooper, columnist and two-time public sex witness.
And this is my column, Bumper to Bumper, inspired by said witness experiences.

		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday I received a good Catholic beating.
No, my teacher didn’t rap my hands with a ruler nor did my fellow students throw stones at me in the street after class. I didn’t get martyred — I didn’t get hurt at all, really, except for the part where a tradition in my faith was laughed at. [...]]]></description>

Except— wait a second— it’s not even Thanksgiving.

Also known (perhaps more popularly so) as No-Shave November, these thirty days are being celebrated by thousands of men across the country who, in order to raise awareness of their ability to cover their faces in keratinized dead cells, are shunning razors and scissors alike with energy [...]]]></description>

I had gotten close to it before, gotten to the brink of experiencing that focused, crazy and creative energy that some of my friends had told me about, but I had never let the substance fuse into my blood and direct my mind [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the first week of my poetry class, we were told that all astonishing poems have one common element: an awareness of our human mortality, of our inescapable deaths. Dickinson, Poe and Whitman understood this; Pablo Neruda, Sylvia Plath and Allen Ginsberg understood it, too. To them, ignoring death as a theme in their works would have been like standing in a hurricane and insisting that it was a good day to catch a tan.

To avoid it, in other words, would have made their poems the same as 99.9 percent of the poems ever written: forgotten.

If our lives are like poems — and I think they are, with their melodic bursts of beauty and poignancy, sadness and truth — then Farhat Hamidullah was one of the greatest poets I’ll ever know.]]></description>

A week ago, I wouldn’t have given the book I ended up buying a second look.
