...intended juxtaposition between idyllic fantasy and harsh reality is instantly unsettling, for what Wellman’s script presents is a duality that challenges the nature of perception in a scathing and fast-paced social critique.

This particular perspective on the art is especially evident in his third section: one long poem entitled “Autobiography of My Alter Ego.” “Autobiography” tells the story of a man, not unlike Komunyakaa, who has spent time in Vietnam.
