Pieces for my Portfolio


          I have selected three pieces for my portfolio.  All three were completed during my time at Ithaca College.  The first, “What the Monkey Said' is a semi-autobiographical stream of consciousness monologue.  It is generally considered my best work to date, and won honorable mention at an Ithaca College personal essay contest.  The second, “In Vino Veritas” is a series of lightened the mode a little.  The last piece, “Forgive Us Our Debts”, is a straight satiric monologue, and although closely resembles the first piece; I think Debts is a much more humorous and self-mocking piece.  I hope you enjoy them, and thank you for this opportunity.
