Picture a room in
the shape of a pentagon, with a band at every corner…
each playing a different kind of music. You go from
stage to stage, dancing with different people, changing
costumes like a mad actor trying to play every part.
With every song, every dance, you are further away from
the noise. Edging towards the middle, you end up half
dressed, wearing different shoes, hair in tangles, by
yourself, in the middle, away from the lights, trying
hard to harmonize with the music that was once so clear,
separate but clear, and now it’s just tumbling,
twisting, turning, an ice skater spinning, blind to
the darkness that has settled in. Cold… cold…
alone in the middle.
Meet Middle, the
voice of Circleforks, a layered rarity of a
woman who determined that she couldn't be that unique,
and decided to unfold herself by pasting the naked-nonfiction
of her life against self-preservation. Watch her weave
through a world of quirky, unrefined, troubling, and
hilarious characters with metaphorical labels as she
diagnoses and defines what she coins the ‘Middle
Disease.’ Circleforks turns self-motivation
inside out and uncovers the ticking within; a sort of
edgy inspiration, with Middle calling upon her audience
to embark upon an important journey that replaces bullet
points with intriguing expanse. Circleforks throws
the concept of destination out the window and demands
personal reflection from the reader.
Whether you were born a middle
child or not, this is an edgy, inspirational book.
