		<description><![CDATA[A combination of Catcher in the Rye, A Clockwork Orange, Silence of the Lambs and Girl Interrupted, “Cassie Draws the Universe” is opera. It is opulent, grand and brilliant in strange ways, executed with a low grade fever.

		<description><![CDATA[Till then however, I realize the value of just hanging with my mom. For all that we’ve been through; and that would be to hell and back individually and together, my mom is still sticking around, supporting my work, my decisions and my moods.

But she did, and I love her for it. <a href="http://indiereader.com/2012/05/mother%e2%80%99s-day-a-tribute/">&#160;Read On <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>
