My WorkSeeing Red
Seeing Red “is a page turner, but it’s one of the smartest page turners I’ve seen in many years... What Sinclair did to expose the meat-packing industry, Kocks does for the scandals and sins of the drug industry." --Utah $5,000 Publication Prize
--Seeing Red “is a rare combination. Not only is it an excellent biotech thriller, it’s also an excellent character story. The writing is smooth and rich, and it develops the story with a depth of emotion and a degree of insight that makes it a pure joy to read.”
--Utah Arts Council Novel Prize, First Place Dream a Little
Writing with a novelist’s sensitivity toward language, Dorothee Kocks explores how Americans have historically looked to the land for answers to society’s problems. Interweaving her own story with a discussion of writers Mari Sandoz, Josephine Johnson and civil rights activist Ella Baker, Kocks traces the relationship between geography and democracy. The Accordion Monologues
In 2002, Dorothee Kocks premiered the first of her Accordion Monologues at the Rose Wagner Theatre in Salt Lake. Featuring short narratives enlivened by the musical and comic beauty of the accordion, the monologues cover topics such as sex at midlife, hope in the face of war, and other concerns as immodest as a red Gabbanelli. |
