“I was so honored that the Bushwick Book Club made music in response to my writing. All the arts are about communication — if one is to make grand summarizing statements — and to have two of the arts communicating with each other, prose and music, like birds in a tree in Bushwick, is a brilliant concept that the Bushwick Book Club has invented and continues to practice with great joy and exuberance and beauty. And to repeat myself — I’m so pleased that my writing caused this lovely group to burst into song. Because what’s better than bursting into song? Very little!”
“Thank you all so much for reading the book for engaging with it in this remarkable way. I don't think that there's anything that could possibly be more meaningful to an artist of any kind than to have other artists engage with the work in their own medium. ... You guys are all amazing.. ”
