Poetic Obituaries: [Aralee Strange] arrived in Cincinnati in the

mid-1980s and soon started open poetry readings.

In 1990, her prose poem "Etta Stone: A Film for Radio" aired nationally on public radio stations. A couple of years later, Ensemble Theatre, then a fledgling professional theater in Over-the-Rhine, performed her play "The Chronicles of Plague."

"It helped set the tone for Ensemble as a place for brave and new work," said D. Lynn Meyers, the theater's producing artistic director.
