Today I'd like to welcome back, Celia Andriello and her ever-changing desk/cave, which I think is a great idea! *Very alternative*
For
Hear the Calliope: A sentimental journey on the Earth Ride
I began in this dark cave in order to emerge in a world of
color-filled delight.
Bar
none, this was the most difficult work I ever produced. It was
initially birthed on the back porch of a Key West home, and took
another six years to develop form. Just as I'm choking on writing
this piece, the entire 400+ pages of Hear the Calliope:
A sentimental journey on the Earth Ride was an unnerving
trial. The cave in the photograph of my writing desk represents a
childhood of severe child abuses that had to be re-written to
resemble a fragment of me, yet most of what many children experience
throughout their childhoods. The flowers outside the cave is the 60s;
the blossoming of what appeared to be freedom. But was it?
The 2 female heroes,
Marinda (Goddess) and Stacy, childhood neighbors, are from affluent
families and were betrayed by the parents in their tender years. It
is their solid camaraderie that sustains them through their repeated
abuses from their parents. Frustrated to find escape the young ladies
devise a plan to escape home life through college by graduating high
schools years in advance. Through their no longer innocent eyes they
see college as the lesser of two evils as they roll a joint, fill the
bong and dream of a better place to be.
Dale and Riley's
betrayal unfolds through their teen innocence that trusts the United
States Marines to be their new parental construct as they don the
uniform and head for Vietnam. With their chins high, they learn an
almost fatal lesson about the many faces of government.
Psychology attempts to
ease their pains, but it is friendship and candor together with their
relentless senses of humor that open the door to infinite
possibilities.
Is there any doubt that
these four characters need to meet to share their histories and their
hearts? But how? And when?
Dig
Hear the Calliope: A sentimental journey on the
Earth Ride because
the truth will set yea free.
