“I wonder if there is an exact moment
When I gave up the idea of permanence.”

The Scent of a Thousand Rains by Damon Falke is a love story. A man finds himself alone in an apartment in Budapest. He peers from the window to discover a woman standing on her balcony. Their unlikely connection sends him on a journey through his memories to reckon with the places and people that have ordered his life. A literary exploration of a life lived in pursuit, the book-length poem suggests that in a life of transience and loss, love and imagination are the only things that remain to us and of us.

The Scent of a Thousand Rains premiered as a theatre production, adapted for the stage and directed by Charles M Pepiton. It was a performance in verse for an actor and a violinist. The music for the production was composed and arranged by Tana Bachman-Bland.

Laura, or Scenes from a Common World, is a  5-part, long poem by Damon Falke.

In English & Norwegian, translated by Martin Egeberg

The poem was the basis for Square Top Theatre’s 2016 award winning film of the same title.

Laura explores one woman’s struggle to make herself at home in the world. Her struggle begins as a common one. A boy has left her. In losing him, she becomes less sure of the roles other people play in her self-creation. She seeks security in isolation only to find that landscape, community, and physical embodiment all ground who we are in ways she cannot escape.
