Just Off the Key of Reason

(What would you trade the pain for?) Poet Elise Ofilada voices over an intimate collection of original poetry in the form of a playlist with the image of St. Peter the Apostle and Fall Out Boy’s bassist Pete Wentz clashing and caressing each other. The author’s grief pours into the smoothness of a looping EP, you saved my life, the lyrics and the form call. (I’m not sure.) Catholic doubt & reconciliation over centuries, a pop punk band’s lyrics over decades, and all too early loss take stage, casting a pang that only young grief can bear.
