The Devastation, a performance novel or poem, is based on the fallibility of a single image: a sea-wreck in language, the lovers on the floor of the sea, a sea of poetry, current, currency, connection--the world. How do we value impoverished speech or try to find abundance in impoverishment? A narrative that stems from an image that is never exhausted whose affect pervades the function of the whole, The Devastation is a lyric exploration of relation and community.
