"A
humorous, anguished, wry , visionary, tragic, and heroic portrayal
set against the sweep of historical events - shattering personal
loss with a denouement [of] surprising sweetness and strength."
-Reuven Goldfarb, Editor, AGADA Magazine

|
"Remarkable
emotional force, complexity and coherence in a short piece. VALIA'S
perspectives on war - grizzly, relentless, sad, spirited, spiritual,
humorous - are true and memorable. One writer/performer's voice
in five characters helps us find our own."
-Maylie Scott, Zen Priest
