“Lost Highway” by Sean Arthur Joyce, from the collection Blue Communion, published by Ekstasis Editions, Victoria, BC, 2023. From the live performance at The Langham theatre, Kaslo, BC, September 15, 2023, recorded and edited by Noel Fudge, Sandhill Studios. Joyce explores the sense many have of a civilization rapidly receding into the rear-view mirror. Inspired in part by the classic sci-fi movies of the 1970s such as Omega Man, Logan's Run, The Andromeda Strain, and others with a post-apocalyptic scenario.
