Here We Are

This selection of short plays is a companion to Kirby Congdon''s one-act collection of plays, "God is Dead (Again)". At age eighty-seven, Congdon continues in his persistent quest for human understanding. He explores the meaning of life through a variety of existential questions and scenarios played out within the fourteen plays that comprise this collection. Kirby Congdon is one of those rare talents who is able to use a variety of mediums to express his artistic vision. This book represents the dramatic level in his search for enlightenment. Indeed, he blurs the lines between drama and poetry -- lines that have never been that clear anyway -- by using dialogue in his poems and lyrical values in his plays. The reader is taken on a thoughtful and entertaining trip from the personal world of self exploration to more universal commonalities of man''s existence. "Here We Are" sparkles with Parkersonian wit.
