Cesi Davidson has crafted the third book in the series of Short Plays
to Nourish the Mind & Soul. The three anthologies of plays,
Articulation, Fricatives, and now Bilabials are eclectic mixes of
stories with surprises, tragedies, delights, and wit. Bilabials
departs from the earlier books by its concentration on plays with some
theme of love. She also places prose between each play that may sting
or please or some modicum of both. This collection isn’t a how to
manual. It isn’t a for-women-only, “Aha.” This often laughable, often
tear-jerking collection if a label is needed, is a rousing cheer for
asking the question, “What is love anyway?” The answer lies somewhere
on the horizon between the earth and the sky. This is where Cesi
Davidson dwells. She offers her heart in her hands and releases her
voice inviting us to travel into the depths of a mystifying
unknown. Love is.
Advance Praise
“Cesi Davidson’s newest book of short plays is at the same time
revolutionary and hilarious in its content and
delivery. Appropriately, the first play is titled “Juicy,” and this
book has so much sweet, liquid fun within. From the beginning, the
reader experiences a trickle of exquisite sensuality running through
each page. Cesi gives a gift to those of us with female bodies—and
that gift is permission to feel good, whatever it looks like, and to
research what could feel even better.”
—Kim Chinh, actor,
screenwriter, playwright, author of Reclaiming Vietnam
“Cesi Davidson has collected for us here a wondrous trip around,
through, and within the heart. These short journeys into the emotions
of those who love and those who do not add to our understanding of
what love is and what love isn’t. When you laugh, cry, and sigh with
recognition, you will be reminded that you are not only a witness to,
but also a participant in the emotional life of all those around
you.”
—Celeste Rita Baker, World Fantasy Award Winner, author of Back,
Belly and Side
“Once again I was entertained, moved, and shocked by Cesi’s expansive
imagination in this third collection of inventive and delightful short
plays. Give yourself to Cesi’s words, and you’ll experience the true
essence of love with plenty of laughter inside the rich world in which
all beings are sentient, intelligent, and funny.”
—Rachel Lu, actor, Elite Match
