Song  of Gray approaches Black experience by clarifying the concrete worlds that exist between humanity and objecthood. Asha Futterman renders this  in-between space as it reveals itself in performance: in a contemporary  performance workshop, at an audition, in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and in the dailiness of the YMCA, her porch, the walk to the train. These poems build new logic systems. Futterman stands at her grandmother's grave and proclaims, "how powerful how dense and naked how inaccurate."
