Ekona's thousands of residents have fled fighting between the army and separatist militias in the Southwest region in recent weeks, leaving behind the only testimony they could: squat, tin-roofed houses gutted by fire, power lines strewn on overgrown verges and, above all, silence.

PARELES With tolling chimes, a growly high-drama vocal, a minor-mode melody, a verse about death and an arena-scale drumbeat, "God's Country" verges on goth metal, with only a little bit of slide guitar and devout lyrics to qualify it as country.

Tomei's exceptionally physical performance is so fine-tuned in its expressiveness that it verges on dance, but it doesn't become a pas de deux until the play's third act, when another banana-truck driver, Alvaro Mangiacavallo (Emun Elliott, buffo and pheromonal), appears on her doorstep.

It comes from the collection of Mony Vibescu, a name that sprung at me like the satyr's twisted phallus: Prince Mony Vibescu is the fictional character of Guillaume Apollinaire's 1907 pornographic novel Les Onze Mille Verges (published in English as The Amorous Adventures of Prince Mony Vibescu).
|

Andy Wright, a former associate White House counsel to Obama and assistant counsel to Vice President Al Gore, told INSIDER in a Wednesday phone interview that impeachment verges into the gray area where the letter of the law and the more complex realities of politics intersect.

She's the extroverted, dark-skinned, plus-size sidekick with great zingers and style who is perpetually talking about her as-yet-unreleased EP. (She's also the character I wish had gotten more screentime, in part because she verges on becoming a loud, black sassy stereotype.) And yet!
|

Del Toro always renders his films' social critiques in fantastical and imaginative images, and The Shape of Water is among his best, with a creature that's both fully reptilian and strangely human, a black-and-white dream dance sequence, and underwater imagery that verges on the balletic.

The Matisse, like Arshile Gorky's "Diary of a Seducer" (1945), a plunge into angst-ridden sensuality in another time of crisis, is about art as a frivolity indispensable to a civilization that periodically verges on bloody collapse—a modest but robust instance of poise amid rushing, dire events.

" Co-written by Hillary Lindsey, Gordie Sampson and Troy Verges, "Closer to You" was pitched to Pearce, she says, around the time she and Ray were falling in love, and it wasn't hard to identify with "that feeling of wanting to escape with that person that you love and get away from everything.

Whereas East Los High verges on magical realism—that show combines plot lines about AIDS, pregnancy, domestic abuse, and high-level drug-dealing with EDM and dance battles—and Gossip Girl centers around the lifestyles of the impossibly attractive and rich, the newest iteration of Degrassi is a kinder, gentler teen drama.

"The referral itself verges on the demented, in all of its Captain Ahab attempts to spear the white whale by coming up with something — anything — with which to try to argue that some unethical conduct has occurred," Mr. Grayson's lawyer, Brett G. Kappel, wrote in a formal response to the Office of Congressional Ethics report.

In contrast to this emotional rigor, the informality of the legal process verges on the comic; the defendant and his attorney wear open shirts and sweaters, in the same way that Pedersen, in Afghanistan, is woken without a salute by one of his subordinates, who then enjoys a cup of coffee and a good cry.
|
|
Sure, as a piece of art "Call on Me" verges on the problematic—all that bare flesh, presented baldly there, without context, without any sense at all of it belonging to anyone, presented as pure object— but come on, anything that has such a pervasive, wide-reaching impact on a nation's psyche deserves to be valued on some level, and maybe even cherished.
|

As she recites her woes in a group-therapy session for the bereaved, or raves with indignation in front of Peter and Steve, tumbling over her words ("All I get back is that fucking face on your face"), the effect verges on the comic, and some of "Hereditary" can best be borne, or relieved, by means of a jittery laugh.

At once babyish and solemn, Platt is 25-years-old but easily passes for a fussy and fastidious kid, his puppy fat and cartoon eyes making what ought to be unwatchably repellent—a character fueled by ruthlessness, self-certainty, and an attitude towards his immediate peers that verges on the sociopathic—bearable for a full season of high-voltage and high-volume television.

New Day for America, the super PAC backing John Kasich Reach: Aired in Ohio as part of a six-figure ad buy Impact: New Day for America has a reputation for quirky ads, like their "mud" commercials in New Hampshire, but this one verges on the bizarre with a vulgar word Trump said at a campaign event bleeped out with the "weary cat face" emoji.

Brown was initially drawn to the "extraordinarily beautiful decay" of the Spode factory, which closed in 2008, and, like many facilities in Detroit today, was abandoned full-stop in the middle of an active day, leaving fixtures and objects in place, Christmas decorations struggling to hold cheer within the gloom, and cups of tea now grassy with mold — a picture without people that verges on the apocalyptic.

Until recently, the internet was still a refuge for displaced anxiety shopping, but the time is now passed for ordering new things from the internet: Amazon has stopped stocking certain non-essential items in order to prioritize necessary medical supplies and household staples, and even if the fun stuff was available, demanding an already vulnerable, overworked employee to ship and deliver your impulsively bought Nintendo Switch verges on unethical.
|

The characters in the movie are not realistic but parodic or even grotesque: not just the Dude, with his Buddha-like calm that verges on complete disengagement, but also his manically aggressive bowling buddy Walter (John Goodman), the browbeating millionaire who shares the Dude's birth name of Jeffrey Lebowski (David Huddleston), the runaway nympho Bunny Lebowski (Tara Reid), and fleeting roles that include a high-talking Heffner-esque pornographer and a feminist performance artist.

And for a band that's primarily known as a crew of rowdy, scuzzy southern boys, the record has an unexpected emotional heft—the cheesy, pumped-in motorcycle sounds on "Ain't a Sin to Win" are counterbalanced by the gravitas of a song like "Lie Down," in which co-vocalist Jordan Smith lays it all on the line over a bed of reverb that verges way the hell away from whatever you'd expect a band with the name "Diarrhea Planet" to be able to do.

That movie lasts twenty-six minutes, and it bears the seed of everything that has flourished in her later works, such as "Red Road" (2006) and "Fish Tank" (2009): a tilt toward the verges of society, where the disconnected and the dispossessed attempt to make a home; a frank admission that carnal knowledge precedes all other wisdom and lays it low; and a wistful ardor, desperate to prove that, even in the scuzziest depths, there are snatches of bliss, or spurts of color, that can suddenly bloom like fire.

As a poet, despite his call for what he described as abandonment of "Swinburnian encrustations," at times his writing verges on the verbose narrative stylings of the fin de siècle writers: Had gone to watch the pale blue ivy climb above steel graves of those who perished for the then so unrestricted huge idea— And THERE—the master of the house was seen—ALONE— making notes, with whispers on the side, of all the spoons his far respected guests with gentleness had lifted in their moments of ineffable simplicity, with jasmine hands to keep swift hounds from tracking royal bijoux to those shadows where deep pansies take another purple for their thought.
