Out of the blue, got email from John Nugent, the talented composer of the DARK MISSION opera for which I wrote the libretto - and which plays a role in the new project (I.e. the Whitman massacre). So does the regional Kinnewick Man controversy. As before, old work and current events inform the narrative.
Formally, Dos Passos and Connell shaped my approach in SODOM. Here the formal influence is Churchill: moving her dialectic from stage to page.
Research to do. Reread SODOM for continuity. Reread libretto. Resesrch Kinnewick Man and Sitting Bull.
What fun, as Jimbo used to say.
