Review of Southwest Side Stories: Dodging Violence

A penetrating piece, "Dodging Violence" cuts to the core of what it means to have to live in fear. With eerie music that matches perfectly the dark tone of the story, the piece allows the listener to truly envision the producer's neighborhood. In addition, the well-written narrative is read in such a way that it captivates the listener. In such a short piece, the continuous narration works well, as a number of different voices would destroy the story's flow. This piece would add to any show covering the topic of youth violence.
