2019 Audie Finalist for Best Original Work LOKI RAGNAROK is a cross between spoken-word performance and an epic poem. It retells the myth of the Viking Armageddon from Loki's point of view. This is not the Marvel version. “A well-told tale of the Norse gods.… Binder’s voice swoops and soars, now angry, now gleeful and now mocking, as Loki tells stories of the gods run amok.” — Providence Journal Performed by the author in myriad voices, LOKI RAGNAROK blends poetry and prose, humor and horror. Chained to a rock, listening for the trumpet that will announce the end of the world, Loki tells his side of the story. They broke into his home. They kidnapped his children. Left his wife bound and gagged on the floor, where she choked and died. He had once helped them, been their friend and blood brother. The story of Loki echoes the cycles of violence and revenge playing out across our world. Told with a blend of poetry and prose, humor and horror, it offers no solution — but a glimmer, perhaps of understanding and compassion. In the shadow of prophecy, a family is torn asunder, leading to betrayal, torture, madness and revenge.
