In his introduction to this collection, Leonard Casper says: "The tales of pain he providd in You Lovely People, in Brother My Brother, in Scent of Apples -- of poverty, dispossession, repudiation, compassion; the more prolonged outcries in Villa Magdalena, The Volcano, and The Praying Man -- against corruption and manipulation and political betrayal and loss of mission; these are condensed here into dances which, in their seeming fragmentary disconnectedness, only reproduce on a smaller, more selective scale those same protests against human error, grinding arrogance, love's delusions, seasonal decay; but above all, against the refusal to see how, in time, all distances are diminished, dismembered, and all differences converge and are cancelled."
