Official synopsis Publisher
Powerful New work by a modern master.
You must listen, listen, listen.
Tired springs breathe under water.
At four in the morningthe last, lonely bolt of lightning
scribbles something quickly in the sky.
It says “No.” Or “Never.
“Or “Take courage, the fire’s not dead.”
-from “The Last Storm”
