Publisher's Synopsis
Compiles Powell's first two Soft Skull titles, Tiny Giants and It Disappears and includes eight pages of new material. Powell's intricate, sometimes chaotic drawings examine the complications that come with passing from childhood to adulthood. Powell captures perfectly that most elusive thing that disappears with age - wonder. Sounds of Your Name builds itself into one interwoven family of lofty dreams and Deep South disappointment, car crashes and love letters, first kisses and four-tracks and reminds readers of the persistence of joy.
