"Think about words that rhyme and rhymes that word. Think about the rhythm of language and the language of rhythm. Listen to the beating of your heart. That’s a hard one for caterpillars. We don’t have beating hearts.”

ALICE IN WONDERLAND - URBAN EDITION by Burton Bumgarner

What if Alice lived in New York City and followed a White Rabbit down into a subway station? What if the weird characters from Lewis Carroll’s story were “urbanized”? We’d find a strange assortment of skaters, joggers, rabbits and rats … kind of like we find in New York anyway.

Will Alice find her way back to the yogurt stand in the park? Will the Queen of the Park find her shopping cart? Will the Caterpillar eat one-too-many mushrooms? The answers may be found in “Alice in Wonderland – Urban Edition” … or maybe not.
