Solos and Ensembles

By Philip LeCuyer

This book is a collection of five series of poems from the performance pieces To Strike the World, Involuntary Speech, Enclosure, Equilibration, and Two Camps. They are intended to be the voices of peripheral and anonymous men and women who inhabit the same world and experience that same conflicts as the major historical figures in these theater pieces. Their voices are intended to broaden and deepen the major themes of these dramas (violence, racial conflict, inequality, terrorism, and science vs. faith) to more intimate and sometimes remote contexts. They should be spoken as well as read. Each of the five series of poems is introduced by a frontispiece drawn by Joy LeCuyer. These drawings are meditations on the meanings of the dramas.
