If he had
lived longer, Louis's ga - ga play might have acquired an entire
cultural setting: Berryman's babble; Roethke's rickety
rhythms... There is a cartoon quality in, for example, Para 1
of 1959, that hints at a parallel to their boozy babytalk.
Through irony, improvisation, attention to
cultural rhythms, and a noisy fiesta - like energy, the installation magnifies a lyrical love
of life and transcultural revelry.
