	In comedy incarnate, Ward Kelley takes the reader and listener on a pilgrimage through a wilderness of souls reviving their heritage with an emotive sense of history and crystal tenderness. It is an "inferno" we all deserve to know, but rarely make the dive to embrace. With "escorts" like Plath, Dickinson, and Joan of Arc, Kelley conjures every brand of emotion in the bible of self retrieved, made vivid by examination and catharsis. His words are like limbs of trees parted by wind, by his own breath. David Jackson's musical score is subtle, penetrating, and it heightens the power of Kelley's message by respecting its tone at every move. comedy incarnate is not commentary but issuance. Kelley takes the meat of a soul and draws it up through a straw of song and we drink from the capable cups of his hands. The recesses of the deep are not fire and brimstone, never predictable, but raw emeralds in a forest that beckons us.
