Da Capo

Da Capo is a collection of stories plays poems and journals in which Tom Bissinger takes on his world whether reading Shakespeare to a blind bag lady observing three playwrights comically vying to destroy each others career amidst the bustle of a Korean deli or meditating on his father in a Sao Paulo swimming pool. Part autobiography part story telling part poetic explorations of dream world and part social satire Bissinger conveys the theatricality of so called ordinary existence by pulling his life towards him hungering for the nuggets of mirth and meaning ultimately owning it in original daring prose. He takes on the challenge of staying awake in a troubled violent world while addressing his yearning for reverie and revelation.
