Amplified Heart: An Emotional Discography is a collection of essays linked by Seattle-based poet and essayist Bryn Gribben's love of music. From childhood memories to grown-up loves, music carries this book from joy to heartache and back again. In this extraordinary debut, Gribben shares the most important and poignant moments of her life to a soundtrack that evokes a sense of what music means to all of us and how it can carry us through on a tide of emotion.
