People Once Real redefines elegy. Elegy for the futures we had imagined would be. Elegy for the present of our failing democracy, our failing planet, our failing bodies.
Elegy for the self that ultimately leads Hoffman toward the grace of love that saves us all from emotional oblivion. Elegy for the past of our forgotten lessons, for our dead that we must praise or forgive to finally let some part of ourselves die. William Blake meets Walt Whitman in Hoffman, a voice of unparalleled lyricism that is both utterly intimate and specific, as it is wisely oracular and mystical, with a density of breathtaking metaphors that truly elucidate the life and death, death and life of all things that matter in our lives.
