Bøger af Justin Limoli

Drama. Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. A mother attempts suicide and fails. Life goes on, but as her family picks up the pieces, gratitude mixes with sadness & anger at the attempted departure. In this dream-like play in verse, blood becomes a character, hearts are fed to the stage, and Dialogue delivers a monologue as Justin tries to determine whether he can truly forgive or forget what has been done.

"I told you how I blamed you for so much, your fist blooming into a prismed silence, a spectral callfor quiet, cheering from the chorus as your fist anointsliquid mercury to my lips, the sign to all that I havesuccumbed to your weight, wordless. Brother, if you called for purple, I would give you amethystfrom my mouth; if blue, water and a sail."Guided by Dante, Freud, and a pantheon of other literary and mythical figures, Justin Limoli travels to hell and back in this new play about brotherhood, loss, and what it means to keep writing when all you write about is grief. A stand-alone work as well as a follow-up to Bloodletting in Minor Scales [A Canvas in Arms.], Limoli's latest blurs the intersection of play and poetry even further, creating something both beautiful and wholly unique in the process.
