“Maybe you had to be dying to finally get to do what you wanted.I fidgeted around with the puzzle pieces for a while longer, but I wasn't lucky. Nothing seemed to fit without a whole lot of work.Then I had this thought: What if it was enough to realize that you would die someday, that none of this would go on forever? Would that be enough?” IfsEnoughWholeWantedDiesRealizingForeverPiecesDyingGoes OnFitLuckySomedayWhat IfPuzzlesPuzzle Piece Book:Tell the Wolves I'm Home Source: Tell the Wolves I'm Home
“When I was a boy, I choked on a piece of candy outside the kitchen window for a few minutes while watching my parents making dinner. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't want to scare them. Our existence was so separate, a dying and a doing well, an outside and an inside. Trey Moody's poems hover in that cold, wet, refrigerator-lit place between the dying and the doing well, the outside and the inside. His poems are the thoughts of the person you love who is always standing behind you, slowly and silently suffocating. But they're not afraid to say hello, and please, and I'm scared.” WantWellsPersonsDiesParentBehindsExistenceBoysPiecesMinutesDyingColdPleaseStandingWindowScaredDinnerKitchenScareNot AfraidWetHelloCandyLitBehind YouRefrigeratorsMoodySuffocating Author:Zachary Schomburg

“I fell in love with the classical crossover genre when I was on AGT. I found out that I could use the microphone to establish a deeper intimacy with the audience. I did not portray an opera character; I was my true self. I would sing a four-to-five minute piece for the audience and then I could talk to them and say "Hi" to them! I would not need to act out scenes where my character was dying from tuberculosis or killing somebody else on stage, I could have a nice conversation with them.” NeedsSelfCharacterUseFoundAudienceFivePiecesFourNiceMinutesStageDyingSceneConversationKillingDeeperIntimacyGenreOperaTrue SelfFive MinutesMicrophonesTuberculosisCrossover Author:Barbara Padilla
