Letters from Planetary Probation (2025)

about

Letters from Planetary Probation is a collection of four songs based on poems selected from the manuscript of the same title, written by poet and essayist Tonya M. Foster. Each song is a meditation on perspectives, identity, and the boundaries we create to navigate existence. While each poem is untitled, each song takes its title from a meaningful word chosen from the text.
