First of all, the seminar’s secrecy is ultimately self-defeating—to participate in the class, students are required to adhere to a safe space confidentiality contract, and its location is undisclosed.

The lush descriptions of Arlington Park and its residents seem to enter the transcendent realm of poetry.Unfortunately, eloquence...
