Description:
Book of J is engaged in new psalmody, drawing from Yiddish songs of ghosts and police violence, the rich biblical commentary of Black and White American traditional music, and piyutim (paraliturgical songs) with a queer bent. Expect old-time religion, radical politics, angels and demons, workers and bosses, diasporic languages, erotic longing, close-text reading, hard times resolved and destiny fulfilled. Also, singing along is good. Book of J is Jewlia Eisenberg (Charming Hostess) and Jeremiah Lockwood (Sway Machinery).
