Add to basketCondition: Very good. - sc Quarto [11 inches high by 8-3/8 inches high]. 201 words typed on a sheet of cream paper with her address typed at the top. Signed "Constance DeJong". The left edge of the paper is darkened & there is a light paper-clip mark to the top left corner with a small, light stain just below the body of the let…ter. Very good. DeJong writes to Gary Wilkie of Contexts in Seattle to ask if she could present her new work there as part of a tour that will take her to Portland, Oregon. She encloses a photo and resume: "It's not very up to date in terms of the new work I'd be presenting or the recently completed book and opera I wrote with Philip Glass." A publicity sheet from Art Performances, New York states: "Constance DeJong is one of the young post-modern writers who has made performance a natural extension of her work as a writer. By blending some of the traditional techniques of theatre - lighting, movement, music - performances extend her work beyond the written word into an almost tactile presence, a context where the narrative can come to life.
