The Twilight Zone
Journalist Malcolm Doney explores, with poetry and prose, how humans respond to the twilight zone - that shift from daytime to night, both in our surroundings and within ourselves.
The film The Revenant was filmed only at twilight, to capture the natural light 鈥榳hen God speaks鈥�, in the words of its star Leonardo DiCaprio. This is just the latest example of a fascination with that shift from daytime to night that has absorbed poets, writers, artists and those with faith and of none.
Journalist Malcolm Doney explores - with poetry, prose and music - how we respond to this twilight zone, both in our surroundings and within ourselves.
