This unique product combines three prizewinning artists into one experience. A book, an album, an experience full of modern poetry by performance poet Hollie McNish is fused together with contemporary music written by British composer Jules Buckley and played by the Metropole Orkest from the Netherlands. Socio-critical, political, emotional, thought-provoking, reflected in both the spoken word which is teeming with energy, as well as the music played by the world's leading jazz and pop orchestra. The music provides a layer of sound, complementing the powerful poetry and creating a plethora of atmospheres and feelings. "It is one of the biggest honors to have these poems read, thought about and composed into music by what I consider one of the world's best and most approachable orchestras." (Hollie McNish).
