Hi all!
Writing you on this beautiful Wednesday to talk a little about a project that is not mine, but is very near to my heart nonetheless!
My wife, the wonderful singer-songwriter Alex Blue*, is in the process of making a record. Her first in eight years! It’s a sort of memoir-in-music—a heart-wrenching, beautifully told story about the high cost and healing power of finding your way home to yourself. These songs are gorgeous, gutting, poetic, revealing. If you like what content I put out into the world, I have no doubt you’ll love these songs too.
She is doing a Kickstarter campaign, which is an all-or-nothing fundraiser, to make this record. (You’ll see I am doing a collaboration with her as one of the reward tiers.)
Want a free poetry print?
Give a minimum of $12 to Alex’s Kickstarter. Then forward the confirmation email to torri@notesontheway.com with your address and the name of the poem you’re requesting. That’s it!
The first 5 people to give $40 or more will also get a free copy of my limited-edition poetry book, The Stories You Told.
Free shipping for all of it, to anywhere in the world. I think it’s a pretty good deal** :)
I really believe in Alex, in her writing, in this record… Selfishly, I so badly want to hear these songs as she intends them to be heard. :) You can read all about her hopes for this project, and the amazing team (made up mostly of women!) helping her bring it to life, at the landing page for her campaign.
And if you have friends who might like a free print, please forward this email to them too! Anyone who wants to contribute to the making of this record is eligible :) And if you’re one of those lovely people who’s already contributed, that counts for a free print too.
Thank you all for your ongoing support and for believing in the work that is important to me. Looking forward to getting these in the mail for you!
