Poet and lyricist Holly Anderson assembles the work that first gained notoriety in the downtown New York poetry scene and with post-punk bands such as Mission of Burma and Consonant. Fabulous tales of passion and redemption unfold with author readings, video, and images - with a companion soundtrack by Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine), and design and illustration by Grammy-winning designer Susan Archie. The digital edition was created by Bob Moses, using the Atavist platform.
This digital publication maintains the surprise and embedded narratives that characterize Andersons work. It includes several of her unique mesostics, a graphic form of poetry most associated with John Cage, who introduced Anderson to the form.
The Night She Slept with a Bear includes:
* full author readings of three featured pieces
* accompanying soundtrack for every page and embedded poem
* a 28-track soundtrack playlist
* interactive features specially created for this digital publication
