Liberation: The Album
Hello, good people of Goodreads.
I am a terrible blogger, so please don't think the worst of me for making this my first post, and perhaps my only post for a good while. But I'm just very excited to tell people: This spring, I had the humbling and thrilling chance to professionally record an album of something between readings and songs, using passages from Liberation as lyrics and backed up by the best band I could put together.
The results can be found here and by following that link above. You can also get it through Amazon and iTunes and yadda yadda, but the Bandcamp interface is way cooler than all of those.
You can stream the songs for free; if you buy and download it, you'll find the recordings will fit on a CD (if you're still into that kind of thing—anyone? Anyone?). We had an amazing time putting it together, and I really hope you like it.
Thanks!

Thanks for the link, this is very cool, I love the book. If you and Gayl Jones did a project together that would be my ideal literature.

Thanks, Sarah! I don't know Gayl Jones's stuff and it looks really interesting--what book should I start with?(Also, having just looked at your website, I am now a fan of your illustrations. You're great!)
Thanks for looking at my work! I think you would like Mosquito by Jones a lot, although if you're in a more Faulkner-y mood and you are interested in reading a book that deals with slavery (if you're not completely burnt out on the subject from writing Liberation) then read Corregidora which is her most famous book. I have never read Healing so that is the one I am going to read next. Glad to see that you write some reviews on Goodreads, it's interesting to see what you're reading..
