WAILS: Songs for Grief Digital Book

Digital copy of the WAILS book. 120 pages with illustrations by the one and only @seedsofspells

With booklet contributors including Francis Weller, Leticia Nieto, Aaron Johnson and Linda Thai. It includes my own initiation of grief and tending to communal grief, the songs, lyrics, stories behind the songs.

I began drafting it as all my songs books have been, with the origin stories of the songs, how and where they came through and the lyrics... but as I was being worked by the material - the channel opened and all the sudden I realized (I?) was writing this for those of you who’ve approached me with the question, “How do we hold our communities in grief without having access to local grief tenders?” And the answer that revealed themself to me/us was: it is not the grief tender who holds the community, it is the community who holds the community. And thus, a flood of invitations, anecdotes and love flowed through into these pages. 

I will be selling the hardcopies on my song tours.
