Album Notes

Jen Lee is a writer and spoken word artist in Brooklyn, New York. She is a collector of stories, many of which unfold in her vibrant neighborhood or in the lives of her closest friends. As the digital age transforms literacy, Jen Lee matches oral story-telling with a medium that pairs well with a morning commute, a walk through the park or an evening bath. She explores the connection between seasons in nature and seasons in our souls, and she has a keen eye for what is at the source of companionship and community.

"Solstice: Stories of Light in the Dark" is a collection of six short stories that are poetic and poignant. They engage and inspire, weaving a tapestry of the theme presented in the first track: “We are all connected—even in the night.” Blending stories with sound effects and music, "Solstice: Stories of Light in the Dark" brings to life a new kind of myth for the digital world.

REVIEWS

soltice: stories of light in the dark
author: Karen Caterson
When I got this CD I didn't even know it, but I was looking for hope. I started to cry as soon as I put the CD on because somehow the words, the images presented, captured so much - extended so much grace and acceptance - exuded what, to me, felt like wounded-healer balm. The kind of thing only someone who knows BOTH the darker side and the light can give. There isn't one story on the CD that doesn't wrap, like a blanket, around my heart. I ordered the CD from the author and came here to send an MP3 to a friend, because I didn't want to wait a minute to get it to her. This is great stuff!!

a friend gifted me with this, and i feel like i got handed gold! jen's got a youthful voice that touches my inner child mixed with the wisdom of an old old crone that touches my entire soul. i save each story for when i need a boost. they're short and easy to fit in between moments and they pack one heck of a punch! she takes my breath away, knocks my sox off, and inspires me to reach deeper. i plan on telling everyone i know about her!

"Solstice" blew me away. I loved every story, but especially "Dream Angel" and "A Companion Who Is Not Afraid". Jen's journey is uniquely her own, but she captures universal commonalities with her words. These stories touched the deep places in me, causing my soul to hum like a tuning fork struck and resonating with a pitch every heart can match. I hope Jen keeps gathering these mythic pebbles and warming them with her spirit and passing them out to warm our fingers and toes and hearts.
