Psalms for the Wreckage
Psalms for the Wreckage collects Joshua Young's trilogy of scripts in verse—To the Chapel of Light (Mud Luscious Press, 2012), When the Wolves Quit (Gold Wake Press, 2012), and a third, previously unpublished play in verse This is the Way to Rule—in a single edition. Exploring faith, dogma, and the politics of power, Psalms for the Wreckage is a stunning collection of poetic, epistolary playwriting as well as a fascinating look at one author's evolving relationship with genre.
Joshua Young is the author Little Galaxies (Variant, 2023), and six collections. His writing has appeared in Gulf Coast, Adroit, Puerto del Sol, Court Green, Fugue, Salt Hill, The Shore, StoryScape, Bat City Review, cream city review, Nightblock, Vinyl, among others. He is the art director for Mt. St Helens Vietnam Band and his hybrid documentary, A Carnage in the Lovetrees, is currently in post-production.
His feature films have been Official Selection at Seattle International Film Festival, Athens International Film Festival, Montreal International Black Film Festival, Toronto Independent Film Festival, among others.
