"As if to Remind Us of Everything" Recited by Actor Steve Hay
Mark A. Pritchard directs this jaw-dropping performance of Rose Solari's "As if to Remind Us of Everything" by Scottish actor Steve Hay.
"As if to Remind Us of Everything" appears in Solari's second collection of poems Orpheus in the Park.
Rose Solari’s second full-length collection of poems is made up of two different yet intertwining strands. In one, Solari explores a variety of myths, climbing beneath the skin of classical heroes and villains to offer contemporary perspectives on these characters and their tales. The other strand consists of poems of celebration and farewell, written for the author’s late parents, as well as in honor of relationships, illusions, and old selves that have passed on. Woven together, the two strands illuminate each other, dissolving boundaries between the past and the present, the extraordinary and the ordinary, the mythical and the everyday.
