Drama, chapbook, 52 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

In The Portal, overcoming is about unbecoming what the world has expected of us, and understanding how we connect to others is about how we know the process of making decisions for ourselves. An exploration of the mystical and ephemeral human body through the combined forms of a traditional stage play and poetry collection, the short scenes allow readers to overlay their voice onto the conflicts of the characters, to reckon with the scary things we encounter on the exterior of our body that also live within us.

A collection of Socratic dialogues, Phenomenal Will, asks all who encounter it to become readers, players, and participants in exploring the difference between our voices of ego and intuition by seeking dialogue with our community and self. Phenomenal Will's goal is to stain readers' minds and lips with very literal questions to prompt discussion between families, lovers, and friends long after the reading ends.
