＂Welcome to these Impossible Plays!

The three plays included in this volume: FISHTANK, SATYRICOÑO, &

TWO ROBERTS, represent three of my waking-dreams about joy, grief, sex, spirituality,

Democracy, and hope... If you read this volume, you will find the

true meaning of impossible poured over impossible landscapes punctuated by the poetic realism that has conjured my ancestors and birthed this volume of plays.＂
