Speaking in Song displays the poet's extraordinary range and musicality, conducting philosophical interrogations of the natural world-and one's story, history, and place in it-in the context of hearing and memory, and in the form of song. Many of the poems have been set to music by composers from Mexico, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Presents poetry which is distinguished by its concentrated syntax, linguistic complexity, and an insistent moral and spiritual engagement.
