Description


“Suzan-Lori Parks is among the most important dramatists The us has produced.”—Tony Kushner
 
“The plan used to be that it doesn’t matter what I did, how busy I used to be, what other commitments I had, I would write a play a day, every single day for a year. It would be about being present and being committed to the artistic process every single day, irrespective of the ‘weather.’ It became a daily meditation, a daily prayer celebrating the rich and peculiar process of a writing life.”—Suzan-Lori Parks
 
On November 13, 2002, the incomparable Suzan-Lori Parks got an idea to write a play on a daily basis for a year. She began that very day, finishing one year later. The result is an peculiar testament to artistic commitment. This collection of 365 impeccably crafted pieces, each with its own distinctive characters and dramatic power, is a complete work by an artist responding to her world, each and on a daily basis. Parks is among the American theater’s most wily and innovative writers, and her “stark but poetic language and fiercely idiosyncratic images turn into her work into something haunting and marvelous” (TIME).
