In Notes on Paper, D
amon Falke walks us through the landscape of one man’s mind, which contains both his past and an awareness of our common future. From within private memories the narrator reaches out to us with ‘we’ and ‘you’, and each spare line invokes the hope that we, like him, are worthy of return to our most longed for places. And if to return is not our fate, and really it never can be, the narrator bids us survey our own memories, taking time in the present for the winds, and the words, that move the world. A work of profound beauty with illustrations by artist Laura Mae Jackson. (2012) Click to preview.

The Sun is in the West is a thought provoking play by Southern writer, Damon Falke, exploring the power of place and story in the span of each human life. Situated in a graveyard on the storm ravaged Gulf Coast of Texas, the characters grapple with their connection to the land, with family myths, and with their own histories. Falke’s rich storytelling and lush poetic language mark this play as a unique offering in the contemporary American theatre. (2010) Click to Preview.

When theology falls into the hands of the poet, something profound takes place. We can find that through the theological dis-course we come into contact with ourselves with all the difficulties and possibilities that entails. Through ideas like Creation, Fall, Salvation, Eucharist, Heaven, and Hell we come face to face with what it means to be human. This collection of essays, images, and poetry represents an attempt to put theology back into the hands of the dreamers. To give it back again to those who would speak lies in order to reveal the deepest, most transformative truths. – Peter Rollins, from his foreword to the Anthology. (2010) Click to preview.

A book of eerie beauty, a real gem. These are not poems and photographs but resurrections, words and images together bringing the dead back to life. “…Stems / of watercress / sprouting / from the rabbit’s / ears” captures precisely the feel of these flowing alternations of poem and picture. You emerge from these pages with a new sense for the relation of memory and perception. – Krishnan Venkatesh, Tutor & Graduate Institute Director at St. John’s College, Santa Fe, NM (2007)
