LA DAILY NEWS Boston-based folkie Delmhorst hit upon an idea that could have been precious and academic — reworking a bunch of great poems into song lyrics — and turned it into a rousing, tuneful celebration of literate and lively music. Drawing from sources as diverse as Browning, Byron, Whitman, cummings and Rumi, she crafts an impeccable, stylistically diverse cycle that celebrates both language and melody, and all of the sweet spots where they intersect. Alternately moody, euphoric and transcendent, this is the smartest good time you'll have with a disc all year.
