From the Dust | Paperback + Cassette
From the Dust | Paperback + Cassette
A collaborative work, blending mediums of art (and life), storytelling through prose and song. The first series in my Wake of Dust collection.
I went back to the dust of where I came from—to the godforsaken town on the edge of nowhere—to explore all the messy and dark interiors of love and life, what it’s like to be human, and how something beautiful can be built from stepping back into the darkness. This work of creative nonfiction, which precedes my upcoming memoir, is a crack in the door, an invitation, a tiny offering, a glimpse into the greater, more expanded truths that I will later unfold in my anticipated full-length book.
The book will be released alongside a cassette tape by Perry Rhodes. Side A features three singles from his upcoming album that coincide with the stories within From the Dust, plus a bonus track and never before heard audio clips of interviews with my Mom, captured during our time in the desert. Side B will have the “For Her” instrumental EP, plus a bonus track.
Limited quantity available—less than five left.
I want to thank those of you who’ve supported me up to this point, who’ve taken the time to read my words and step into the world I’ve lived. If you’re someone who likes to hold something physical in your hands, I’d so appreciate your support in this project. This is the precursor to my memoir that I hope one day you can also hold in your hands, feeling the weight in your palms and the pages beneath your fingers. But until then, I hope you enjoy the short stories of From the Dust.
