Plot

Gregory Warren Wilson’s exciting collection provokes and challenges the reader. Warren Wilson suggests that disclosure – whether of love or anguish – is hazardous because it can betray as well as illumine. But which is more likely to put things in jeopardy: the outspoken or the unspoken? Staged Whispers, the second half of this collection, is voiced through a ventriloquist’s dummy. It exposes the desolation, frustration and fleeting euphoria experienced by a performer on stage and off. For lovers of words and music, Warren Wilson’s direct and insistent voice is sure to captivate and entertain.
