On songs like "Bubble" and "Swim," the first-person narrator revisits past loves and reflects on the lessons learned from them. Elsewhere, particularly on the spoken-word track "Grand Canyon," Ani addresses the oft-misunderstood connection between patriotism and dissent ("i love my country / by which i mean i am indebted joyfully / to all the people throughout its history / who have fought the government to make right") and issues a rallying cry in support of "the coolest F-word ever"-feminism, which she sees as the birthright of men and women alike. The beautifully designed package also contains a small specially bound book including original artwork by Ani and three additional poems currently unavailable anywhere else.

Found this when I opened Quicktime Player in Linux, and a full-window ad for the cd came up. Which I found slightly weird, but ok. . .
Mind you, the actual "hear the entire album" thing doesn't seem to be working for me -- plugin initialization failed, according to Mozilla -- so I can't tell ya if it's any good. You'll just have to find out for yourself. Sorry.
