This summer I've been working with the talented composers Seth Boustead, Stephanie Ann Boyd, Ryan Chase, Zachary Ritter and Will Rowe in Concept Lab's art song sessions. On Sunday, Sept. 25 at 5pm we'll hear performances of their new compositions. I'm really excited about the work they've done. If you're in the New York area, please join us for this concert .  

 As research for a series of poems--as well as my interest in ecoacoustics--I did fieldwork on the southernmost Barrier Islands of Virginia's Eastern Shore at the end of August. The day I went out, there was a lot of plane traffic, which made capturing sound challenging. I tried to convey a bit of the soundscape in this mix . The birds weren't any happier about the noise than I was.
