Into the Ruins of Modernity

A dramatization, not a conventional poetry reading.

Weaves together much of Frederick Glaysher’s lyric and narrative poetry from Into the Ruins and The Bower of Nil, evoking why we need good government, Democracy, the rule of law, affirms international institutions like the United Nations, NATO, Allies, and a wider understanding of the depths of human consciousness, a reaffirmation of our deepest human capacities for cooperation and peace.

60-minute performance.
