Poetry. Cross-Genre. Drama. "M. Mara-Ann's long hybrid, hypnotic poem-theater work of spoken-music text is ecological structure based on the national report on global warming. The footnote-archipelagos require one to turn back to the origin and reorient one's reading becoming sustained attention, a holding of sounds like plateaus in the air, an inevitable letting go allowing the original's spot (place) in the text and one's attention to it to be lost, before one finds one's way again. The poem's reading is exchange 'causing' the reader to hold a place in enlarging space. The content is the transience of life in its alteration--also our seeing that the outsides and insides are ending"--Leslie Scalapino.
