About the Talk

"i used to love to dream: Going Into Language"

In the talk I will discuss my most recent album, i used to love to dream. It is the third in a series titled Sleepwalking. In the talk I will discuss its composition, development, and the process of publishing it with University of Michigan Press. I will also briefly discuss the projects that precede i used to love to dream—my 2017 dissertation album and digital archive, Owning My Masters: The Rhetorics of Rhymes & Revolutions (which will be mastered and published with University of Michigan Press this spring), and Sleepwalking, vols. 1 & 2.
