“Blue Ache Ark” is a multiplicitous collage set on an abandoned college campus in Vermont at some undisclosed point in the not too distant future. There is reference to the American Civil War, the one from 1861, but also the suggestion of a new one that’s happening now (or soon to be); there are barns and hills and cannons and polo shirts. There is WW 3. There are stained glass windows, purgatory, sheep, pigs, horses; there is shame and oblivion and rules and corporate up and downsizing. There is a name. All in 3500 words.
