THE HUMAN EQUATION
Directed by Sonny Lira
There is a line running through our lives, connecting each moment, each emotion. Occasionally our lines cross and in an open glance we see our neighbor, our spouse, our daughter, the stranger in the laundromat. For a moment we recognize them and, as their gaze meets ours, we are also understood. Join us for a night of moments.

Read the Buzz
"I took 'The Human Equation' home to share. My granddaughters, ages 19 and 21 were staying with me for a week. That night at the dinner table, the four of us (my husband, myself and my two granddaughters) had a poetry reading from your book. They each chose a poem to read. My husband, who had climbed it, chose your poem, Half Dome. :) The surprising thing came after reading your poems. My granddaughters got out their phones and read poetry that they had written or poems they loved that they keep on their phones. It was so special. Thanks for helping to create this family moment."
