A companion volume to Love Like Light that features a book-length conversation between Daniel Alexander Jones and poet, scholar, and activist Alexis Pauline Gumbs about Daniel's work.Alexis Pauline Gumbs is a recipient of Yale's Wyndham-Campbell Prize.
In a roving, shimmering conversation that took place in May 2021, scholar, poet, and activist Alexis Pauline Gumbs and playwright, songwriter, performance artist, and educator Daniel Alexander Jones discuss love as a foundational principle of artisticpractice and societal change. Reflecting onLove Like Light, Daniel Alexander Jones's collection of seven plays and performance texts (published by 53rd State in July 2021),DAJ and APG illuminate the ways in which an attention to care, community, nuance, invitation, perceptual particularities, and embodied conditions canresist the profoundly extractive context in which life is lived and art is made.As they discuss the work of Audre Lorde, Billie Holiday, Beah Richards, Bayard Rustin, and Malcolm X, as well as that of DAJ'sgrandma Daisy Mae and APG's grandmother, aunt, and niece, DAJ and APG propose that love, like light, suffuses everything, and that love, like light, creates a field in which transformation, justice, healing, and radical beauty are not just possible-they are already, now.
