Societal Drop-out
What is the experience of such a freeing act as related by an outsider, a millennial, a voice from the underground who means to share the fruits of her solitude with her listening audience?
Words shape our existence. I suggest that my audience shrug off any words that have been applied to themselves by others and that ultimately diminish their experience of themselves and their life. I mean to shake-up the status quo by speaking about such topics as sex, polyamory, drugs, art, mental health, social media, artificial intelligence, suicide, gender and fashion. Presently culture is sick. I mean to describe the sickness and elucidate the cure.
We are sick from following the advice of others as opposed to turning towards ourselves. The cure is to better appropriate words that are more aligned with our direct experience of ourselves and our life. If you like what you have read so far then do read my Writing and Blogs which contain excerpts from my debut book entitled Societal Drop-out: A Culture Manifesto For The New Millennium.
“D.C. Copeland will not be understood by many of her generation but she will be a voice of it. [She] is an extraordinary writer, both in Kafkaesque parable and highly original short plays that succeed in evading the only apparent influences of Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco… She brings to the stage a power of invention and a control of the language that I find refreshing.
I recommend her without reservations.”
– Harold Bloom (author of Shakespeare: The Invention of The Human, The Daemon knows: Literary Greatness And The American Sublime)
