NE Poetry Club member Max Heinegg has released Through Traveler, a 14 song record of poetry adaptations from the public domain and by author permission. Taking poems that speak to the theme of travel and life’s journey, Max Heinegg has, in the words of award-winning poet John Sibley Williams, “recontextualize(d) poems I thought I already knew, returning them to poetry’s musical roots.” The album can be heard on Bandcamp and will be also available on all streaming services soon.
Recorded in Somerville and Medford, the album features many prominent Boston musicians.
