Prosody of Shadows Kit Ludlow

The Prosody of Shadows was composed during the early days of the War on Terror and the build-up to the Iraq war. It was completed sometime around march of 2003. The piece began as a tradition narrative, discarded and then rewritten as a disjointed Spiritus Mundi piece. A few phrases and words were edited. Much of it could be rewritten or forgotten. The self-made policy was to not censor the callowness or awkwardness of the piece. It was decided that the time-capsule nature of the piece was more essential. The Prosody of Shadows weaves previous events in early 2000's politics to see how the then present IRAQ War came about. Examples of the events include the Battle of Mogadishu, Senator Wellstone's death, 9/11, Ariel Sharon and the Palestinian uprising, Clinton's impeachment/decision to lie and the first modern, non-popular vote, electoral college presidency.
