Rhapsody in D continues to elaborate Todd Bruce's love affair with Language. One man's gay-positive travelogue through a blurred series of Canadian landscapes, it utters, murmers, groans, and punctuates countless moments in the classical and unconventional language of love. Subject and objects of desire are manifold: the mundane and the magical, male and female, pedestrian and sophisticated.Bruce says, 'without poetry as an escape from the reality of my partner's dying, I think I too might have died.'

Bruce takes up the influence of Elizabeth Smart and Robert Kroetsch, yet produces his own freshly convoluted lexicon of possibility, poetry, rapture, loss, and love.
