Mac Wellman's Miniature is poetry of exuberant expedition into the mysteries locked inside words. Meaning slips and slides along the white-water sound-streams he navigates, catching and jolting at robust archaisms, liberated diacrities, and endlessly surprising figurations.—Una Chaudhuri
Mac Wellman’s recent work includes 3 2's; or AFAR, directed by Meghan Finn at Dixon Place, The Difficulty of Crossing a Field (with composer David Lang), and 1965 UU for performer Paul Lazar and directed by Stephen Mellor at the Chocolate Factory. He has received numerous honors, including NEA, Guggenheim, and Foundation of Contemporary Arts fellowships. He received his third Obie for Lifetime Achievement. His books include: Q's Q, a novel; A Chronicle of the Madness of Small Worlds, a volume of stories; The Difficulty of Crossing a Field, a new collection of plays. His books of poetry include Miniature, Strange Elegies, and Left Glove. He is Distinguished Professor of Play Writing at Brooklyn College.
