'Lessons of Decal' is a book of creative non-fiction that blends critical analysis, personal reflection, poetics, and performance writing. Deeply informed by attentive reading and research, these lyric essays are accessible yet playful and at times experimental. All chapters are interested in the pull between autobiography and abstraction; between hospitality and formal difficulty. Most of these essays have their origin in some kind of live occasion, usually performative lectures which combine research with costume, projections, choreography, poetic language, and performative delivery.
