Description: "Inspired by her experiences in Paris at the famed Père Lachaise Cemetery -- the final resting place of such legendary artists as Richard Wright and Jim Morrison -- award-winning playwright/performer Dael Orlandersmith explores the strange way we form powerful bonds with people who, though unrelated to us by blood, come to feel like family. Observing strangers from around the world making pilgrimages to their favorite artist's grave, Orlandersmith investigates the complex legacy she received from her mother -- a legacy of bitterness, abuse, and frustration, but also of poetry, music, and art."--Page 4 of cover
