With eight Grammy nominations and sales of over 4.5 million, Ani DiFranco is one of the most independent and beloved musicians, as well as an outspoken voice of conscience. For the first time, she releases a book of poetry and paintings, capturing her essential artistry, which has helped her define and invigorate a new generation. With a poet's precision and and a citizen's stake, DiFranco finds the meeting places of intimacy and politics, of self and country, of resolve and compromise, and of the fickle and magnificent capacities of love and solitude.
