Description

"A monologue must give voice to those who have been silenced. The speaker must urgently need to speak, to proclaim, to persuade, to incite, to inspire, to agitate, to fabricate, to contaminate or whitewash, to justify; the speaker needs approval, or absolution, or acclaim, or worship, or laughter or sympathy. The monologue can only happen if the speaker has an audience. The monologue is ultimately the electric interaction between the audience and the speaker." —from the introductionContributors: trey anthony • Nina Lee Aquino • Maja Ardal • Catherine Banks • naila belvett • Tony Berto • Dionne Brand • Leanna Brodie • Ronnie Burkett • Alec Butler • Drew Carnwath • Robert Chafe • Elaine K.
