Winter from Above: Meditations on Winterreise with Franz Schubert (e-book)

This is a very unconventional look at Winterreise, one of the darkest song cycles ever written. Maybe this is even the "antidote." Through 24 meditations the author and the theoretical ghost of Schubert wander through winter trading insights into romantic rejection, loss, and the inability to accept love for what it is. This is a dark, sexy, musical fairy tale that reveals earthly trauma from the perspective of spirit. Why do we incarnate just to experience excruciating pain? This book can't offer an answer, but it can offer one possible viewpoint.

These meditations helped with the creation of Paper Puppet Opera's shadow puppet show of Winterreise and includes all of the poems in the original German with new translations by the author.

This listing is for the e-book.  A PDF will be automatically emailed to you upon purchase.

Also available as a physical book.

My Story

My name is Juliana Brandon. I spent the month of November, 2019 drawing birds without knowing why. A few weeks later my mom was diagnosed with brain cancer and I freaked out. Everything happened so quickly after that. Our small family rallied together to take care of her until she died at 12:21 AM on 12/21. I was thankful to the birds for keeping me sane during that time, and now my goal is to sell my bird drawings to fund brain cancer research. I'm dismayed that this disease is still so little understood and so difficult to treat. We should know more, so I'm donating to the American Brain Tumor Association .
