"I was in the car the first time music seemed strange: the instruments less distinct, the vocals less crisp."

A devastating memoir that sheds urgent, bracingly honest light on both the taboos surrounding disability and the limits of medical science, Losing Music is refreshingly vulnerable and singularly illuminating--a story that will make readers see their own lives anew.

Join Priyanka Kumar and Milkweed Editions’ Publisher and CEO Daniel Slager for a discussion about the genesis of Kumar’s collection of essays, Conversations with Birds, followed by a reading featuring special guest birds, facilitated by the Raptor Center.
