What a haunting, emotionally compelling piece of work. Why do people want to kill themselves? There are several answers touched upon but no one can come up with one definitive answer. How could there be? Certainly the people in this piece talk about pain and the immeasurable loss they feel. They can see no end to it except the end of life. The voice collage moves fluidly like the waters underneath the Golden Gate Bridge from which many have jumped. There statistics that wash through from experts (some on the phone line as if they were our crisis lifeline) about the 1200 people who jump off the Golden Gate each year - the five minutes duration of time between the decision and action--these hold dearly long after the piece is over. Susan Stone is an unheralded radio artist and her work simply must be played. Stations ca pair this with another mental health piece to make an hour-long special. There's a shorter version that fits within the half-hour time slot as well. May is Suicide Prevention Month. There's a hook for stations. But really we all know someone who has entered the night where there is no moon. Don't we?
