Bøger af C Dylan Bassett

Drama. Poetry. California Interest. Somewhere between monologue and stage direction, the one-act plays in THE INVENTION OF MONSTERS / PLAYS FOR THE THEATRE center around what it means to be ill-cast in life. How it feels to wear a costume, a body, a face. How sex can be both transformative and nightmarish. Each scene-poem is the tip of an iceberg, evoking a larger performance rather than operating as a conventional script. A new kind of theatre text, these plays/poems beg to be performed, with exactly how depending entirely on the reader.

A book-length elegy in four sections, C Dylan Bassett's debut collection is an unflinching examination of grief and its effects on memory, on the body, and on the experience of physical space in the aftermath of loss.
