Gunderson has become my favorite living playwright. This one is about a young girl with a serious disease who gets an unexpected visit from a high school classmate to work on a Walt Whitman project. This isn’t my favorite of hers, but she always has a gift for hitting some notes that resonate deeply no matter what the subject matter is. If you haven’t read her Silent Sky of The Book of Will I would highly recommend both. ( )

A play about two high school seniors trying to work on a presentation of Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" for English class. The ending was too magic realist for me, but the middle of the play resonated with Whitman's poetry and the playwright did tie everything together nicely at the end. ( )
