Luminous (2018)

I wrote this piece November of 2016. Inciting incident needs not be mentioned, because we're reminded every day. However, I will say that the further out I get from this piece's birth, the more universal it becomes. We've all felt this way, after Bush v. Gore; after 9/11; after Sandy Hook or Pulse or Mandalay Bay; after Pulitzer announcements; after Obama, during Trump...

Thanks to Carl DuPont for this unflinching and true interpretation of my piece. I took a chance writing it, he took a leap in performing it.
