Oh There You Are I Can’t See You Is It Raining?

Laura Broadbent

An experiment in hybrid and versatility of voice, these texts stutter
around the slipperiness of language and the transience of desire.The
first section is an exercise in paradox wherein language as medium
breaks free of signification and desire, knowing very well that language
is inextricable from desire. The second section concedes that language
may be inescapable yet its borders and meanings must and can be
moveable, so that through the decomposition of what has been said or
written the new may sustain itself on the dregs of the past. The third
section is a burlesque reflection on the kaleidoscopic incarnations of
Eros as it passes through assorted personalities and neuroses, that is, a
chorus of anonymous men, all in various states of confusion about love.
Each man is but a different face on the ten-thousand-sided-dice of the
same drive wherein gender stereotypes are inflated to show their
contours, exposing romantic desire as it is: essential, absurd, random,
hideous, and blind.
