A Statement from A.J.:

"This piece was initially written on the occasion of a death in the family the day after the 2020 election results were announced, during a national (and personal) confluence of celebration and mourning."

"Fall" was originally published in the Winter 2021 issue of The Baltimore Review.

Recorded at the Bethany Arts Community Studio, October 2021. Edited by Daniel Easler.
