AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'With one story uniting four different time-lines told with rhythmic surety and an elegant narrative design, Poet #7 is a CSI of the heart, a play about love in all its bewildering forms, a lo-fi sci-fi vision of beautiful mutation and apocalyptic flight.

'A young librarian in love for the first time and last time, a poet racing through a war-torn landscape to deliver an urgent message, a social worker unraveling the mysteries of a stranger she must eulogise, a businessman infatuated with his boss's daughter, and the billions that can be made from the military application of his GM crop.'
