"Splinters the Length of Daggers," poem by Hall Gardner

A new video from Hall Gardner in Paris:



Splinters the Length of Daggers was written in 1979 in reaction to the Three Mile Island nuclear accident; it was read at numerous anti-nuclear protests in the 1980s, and it was published in Hall Gardner, The Wake-UP Blast (2008) The Fukushima nuclear crisis appears much worse than the Three Mile Island accident and will require a complete reassessment of the so-called "peaceful" atom and the world-wide plutonium economy in the effort to achieve a nuclear free world and alternative energy infrastructure. See discussion of nuclear proliferation in Hall Gardner, American Global Strategy and the 'War on Terrorism' (Ashgate, 2005), paperback. http://www.amazon.com/Hall-Gardner/e/B001HPAN6S

What would happen if two children decided to put on the Ancient Greek Oresteia in their own puppet theatre? With their (recently divorced) parents as characters? Casting themselves as Iphigeneia, sacrificed by her father for a favourable wind, and Orestes, the murderer of his mother? What kind of bloodbath might come out of that? This modern retelling of the classic trilogy in words and pictures is a collaboration between New Zealand poet Jack Ross and US-based British artist William T. Ayton. Contains adult themes and imagery.
