SOMEONE TOOK THEY TONGUES. 3 OPERAS

"Kearney's collection of opera libretti explodes with verbal inge-nuity, graphically lunging out at us like Marvel Comics sound effects meets Italo-Futurist cut-up. Stuck in a domestic cell or a tenement, his characters bust out in song that riddles and rages and confounds. Kearney is our generation's lyric and sonic pugilist."

— Cathy Park Hong

This collection of opera libretti, Someone Took They Tongues, explodes with verbal ingenuity that resembles as much a Marvel Comic as an Italo-Futurist cut-up. Stuck in a domestic cell or a tenement, Kearney’s characters bust out in song that riddles and rages and confounds.
