From a Call Box
by Bob Stallworthy
Telephone communication is a prevalent subject in From a Call Box, but the real theme is communication between people. Calls for help, calls for information, calls for love, calls of desperation. In the author’s words, “We transfer vast amounts of information via these technologies, as well as the huge range of human emotions. We are not always successful in our attempt to get both emotion and information across to the person on the other end of the telephone line.” From a Call Box is an exploration of people’s funny, poignant, sad, sometimes tragic attempts to make connections.
