Reviews"Poetic ... Morgan's portrait of musicianship as a spiritual concern is resonant and convincing, and she tempers it with candid discussions of the indignities of life on tour. It's a must for music lovers." -- Publishers Weekly "Greta Morgan's quiet elegance grows from her embrace of her vulnerability and ability to open herself to pain and renewal. Her incandescent voice fills The Lost Voice with a radiant beauty." -- No Depression "This book explores the disorientation and grief that arise from losing a core aspect of one's identity. Greta enchants--she turns her worst nightmare into an exploration of what it means to live richly in a time when all of us are losing everything faster than we can count." -- Holly Whitaker, New York Times-bestselling author of Quit Like a Woman "A luminous meditation on how loss and change can be a pathway towards unexpected beauty and inner peace." -- Jim James, lead singer of My Morning Jacket "Greta's writing is as life affirming as the canyons and valleys it chronicles. The Lost Voice brims with warmth, wit, and hard-won insight into what it is to find your true self against all odds. Her voice is one well worth listening to." -- Lola Kirke, author of Wild West Village "For anyone who has given it all for a dream, Greta Morgan's The Lost Voice is a remarkable journey through an artist's grief and ultimate transformation. This is a story of the durable alchemy of the creative impulse and the possibilities of connection." -- Tracy O'Neill, author of Woman of Interest "The Lost Voice is a brave, honest look at what it means for a professional singer to lose their voice and be forced to make meaning out of what a human voice truly is, and how best to use it. Greta's story is a cautionary tale, and ultimately, a story of courage and tenacity, a hero's journey of confronting a terrifying trial, overcoming it, gaining wisdom, and returning home changed and ready to share what's been hard learned. Gorgeously written, this book is for anyone who is interested in the creative process, spiritual growth, self discovery, and transcendence." -- Mary Gauthier, Grammy-winning songwriter and author of Saved by a Song "A dazzling debut. Morgan's memoir reminds us that song and writing share a common root in lyrical storytelling. Her prose manages to be both lushly poetic and astoundingly precise, as it documents the self-inquiry and uncertainties involved in navigating illness, loss, and the demands of a creative life." -- Sophie Strand, author of The Body Is a Doorway and The Madonna Secret, "This book explores the disorientation and grief that arise from losing a core aspect of one's identity. Greta enchants--she turns her worst nightmare into an exploration of what it means to live richly in a time when all of us are losing everything faster than we can count." -- Holly Whitaker, New York Times-bestselling author of Quit Like a Woman "A luminous meditation on how loss and change can be a pathway towards unexpected beauty and inner peace." -- Jim James, lead singer of My Morning Jacket
TitleLeadingThe
SynopsisA poignant, tenacious memoir by musician Greta Morgan chronicling how she rediscovered her artistic voice after losing her ability to sing. In 2019, Greta Morgan was on the rise. She was a touring member of Vampire Weekend, performed with Jenny Lewis, and garnered critical acclaim with her own musical projects. But in March 2020, after contracting Covid-19, she was diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder with no known cure that left her unable to sing. Her once crystalline voice now reduced to a hush, she saw her career come to an abrupt standstill. Beyond the physical ramifications, what does it mean to cultivate a true voice? Morgan's loss launches her into a journey of grief and self-discovery, forcing her to broaden her artistic horizons and reconstruct her sense of self. Her narrative takes us on a whirlwind tour of music studios, band buses, and celebrity-filled backstage parties, but it also takes us to the red canyons of Utah and the spacious wilderness of the American Southwest. In these vast landscapes, Morgan finds unexpected community. In the silence, she learns how to listen to parts of herself she has neglected. Questioning the purpose of creativity and what defines artistic passion, The Lost Voice is a raw and intimate portrait of grief, self-discovery, and the choice to keep living and creating., A poignant, tenacious memoir by musician Greta Morgan about rediscovering her artistic voice after losing her ability to sing.
