Amongst the most ambitious and varied work of Pura Lopez Colome's distinguished career, Speaking in Song displays the poet's extraordinary range and musicality, conducting philosophical interrogations of the natural world-and one's story, history, and place in it-in the context of hearing and memory, and in the form of song.
