Julia Darling
In Our Lives

Anyone who was fortunate enough to hear Julia read her own work will forever read her words with her voice and intonation echoing in their head.

But her words survive, not only on the page, but also in the performances of others. Her plays can still be produced, her songs can still be sung, and when they are, this page will tell you about it.

Those who were at the Cumberland in May 2004 for Sudden Blossoms will know how well Julia and Tim Dalling worked together. That collaboration has now been taken a step further, with the release of Rendezvous, a CD that intersperses six of Julia's poems, read by her, with Tim's settings of eleven of Julia's poems. In accord with Julia's enthusiasm for knitting, the initial run of 200 come in a hand-knitted CD cover, and you can buy it now with credit card or cheque, over on Tim Dalling's website. Tim's site also includes a full track list and audio clips, including Julia reading How to Make a Curative Soup.

Meanwhile, the In Retrospect page lists reports of earlier events featuring Julia and her work.
