Poetry & Performance – by David Mills & Howard Pflanzer (Zoom event)

David Mills – The past is prologue: Black bodies: the bodies of evidence
Mills will read poems, largely about the physical and psychological assault mostly by white males on the black body from this country’s antebellum period to the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.

Howard Pflanzer – SPACE – 14min. , on Crossways Theatre’s You Tube channel,
Featuring Zoe Anastassiou and JR Carter, with Kathleen Potts as “Voice”. Worldwide flooding, a restrictive underground space, a couple decide to flee to the unknown. Climate change has made the surface of the earth totally uninhabitable, some of the survivors are living underground, a couple live in a two by four space, wanting a child and a “normal” life.

Discussion with both writers after the poetry reading and the play.
