About Love Alone
Anthology Project

The Love Alone Anthology Project is an evening-length multimedia contemporary dance work choreographed by Keith A. Thompson, inspired by the writings of author and activist Paul Monette — particularly his 1988 volume of poetry Love Alone: 18 Elegies for Rog.

Inspired by Monette's devastating and beautiful poems about his partner dying of AIDS, as well as Thompson's own experience as a gay man coming of age during the 1980s and '90s during the height of the epidemic in America, the work is both a personal and collective meditation on care and survival. It honors the queer bodies whose lives were shaped by — and often lost to — this tumultuous period in our recent history.

At its core, the project is a mission: to share stories of love, grief, rage, and resilience with universal relevance. In a world still grappling with how to hold pain and joy at once, Love Alone Anthology Project offers space for both.
