		<description><![CDATA[Repent, said the billboards at street corners and lights up and down the city. Repent. We shaded our eyes from the glare of the word. We pulled our straw hats and tams and fedoras down over our secret failings. We could not look each other in the eye, afraid our secrets would be seen in the shadows of green and hazel, brown and black flecks in our irises.

Every morning a different group staked out the city center, yelling at drivers to save themselves. Handing out leaflets that announced the truth. And the horror that awaited us if we lived without it.

On a morning in December, the leaflets pictured the Bird Boy, and beneath it the words “What is not of God is of the Devil”.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I bring Anne Bonny up to the contemporary time because I explore the idea of gender roles and identities. and the way that desire motivates us within these roles and identities. So I guess desire and language are the two overarching themes in the piece. I’ve really always been interested in, like Marguerite Duras, between that sort of line between destruction and desire and how often we cross it and that was like the modern narrative as well. ]]></description>
