Collecting Daniel Alexander Jones's plays and performance texts Bel
Canto, Black Light, Blood:Shock:Boogie, clayangels, Duat, Phoenix
Fabrik, and The Book of Daniel, this volume offers a panoramic view
of Jones's shifting, glimmering, transformational body of work.
Each play a provocation to the possibility of a more just world
with love as civic practice at its center, Jones's writing moves
with lithe and associative grace through histories personal,
political, cosmological, and sublime. A reunion not only of Jones's
revolutionary work in the course of twenty-five years in the
avant-gardes of New York, Austin, and Minneapolis, among others,
Love Like Light is also a reunion of collaborators and friends,
featuring essays by Vicky Boone, Jacques Colimon, Eisa Davis, Omi
Osun Joni L. Jones, korde arrington tuttle, Aaron Landsman, Deborah
Paredez, and Shay Youngblood and an interview with Faye Price.
Awarded the 2021 PEN/Laura Pels Theater Award for his expansive,
multidisciplinary, radical body of work, Jones has, in the words of
judges Jeremy O. Harris, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, and Leigh
Silverman, "continued perfecting a dramaturgy all his own based in
the traditions of Africana studies, performance studies, queer
theory, and mysticism, challenging established traditions while
creating space for audiences to ponder what theater is and who it
is for." A companion volume, Particle and Wave, features a
book-length conversation between Daniel Alexander Jones and poet,
scholar, and activist Alexis Pauline Gumbs about Love Like Light
and the way that love, like light, suffuses everything and is the
condition and power of change in the world.
