The Emily XYZ Songbook
by Emily XYZ, Virgil Moorefield
Category: Music

Emily XYZ is a writer, vocalist and performer whose poems for two voices turn up the music in everyday language. From the separation of church and state to Led Zeppelin groupies, macroeconomics to Sinatra, no topic is too tough for XYZ's double-barrelled heat treatment. With longtime reading partner Myers Bartlett, XYZ has performed in theaters, clubs and colleges on three continents and was featured in the PBS television series The United States of Poetry. The Emily XYZ Songbook is her first collection, and includes an album-length CD of live and studio recordings with electronic soundscapes by experimental composer Virgil Moorefield. --Rattapallax Press.
