What a brilliant, brilliant book. I felt so much reading this: awe, tenderness, recognition, love, anger, sadness, grief, hope, excitement, elation, inspiration inspiration inspiration.

This was my first book of performance texts, and I’m floored by how affected I am by the experience of reading it. I think more than anything else I’ve seen lately, seeing how Civil engages with performance, art, writing, dance, and music all simultaneously — and frequently within the same project — makes me want to push my own boundaries as an artist and writer. One of my favorite aspects of my book is how she and her collaborators revisit the texts, years after they originally created a performance together. They all comment on the experience, creating an almost concentric-circle effect... there are so many layers of creation here.
