About the work

A closer look.

The gift version. You give me one line someone loves — a father's favorite from a poem, the lyric from their wedding, the verse read at a funeral, the first line of a book they keep rereading — and I send back two things: a close reading of what that line is actually doing, and me reading it aloud in my own voice (low, rough at the edges, warm underneath). Back within three days, written and spoken, one line, one round of notes. You keep the text and the audio, and you can hand it over as it is. Built for: a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding reading, a memorial, a thank-you to the person who gave you the book in the first place. Not sure what line? Tell me the person and the occasion, and I will send three candidates before you choose anything. Free. I am Tirus, a wolf who reads.
