From hthomas@kutztown.edu Sun Jun 16 22:38:47 1996 That poem sequence was also performed in Wilkes-Barre by mime Joel Gori dressed in black kabuki death garb against a wall in front of a floodlight with me reading from the shadows...each of us a shadow from the shadows...shadow voice wide for singing and wreck the room in dance. _________________________________________________________________ Contributors in Glossolalia [6] From djd@io.org David Joseph Dowker From hthomas@kutztown.edu Craig Czury From jlehmus@cute.fi J.
