About the Author

Brooklyn-based composer and performer Michael Harren combines elements of classical composition with experimental electronics and storytelling to create hypnotic and boldly intimate work that walks the line between Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel and Dead Can Dance. He is artist-in-residence at Tamerlaine Farm Animal Sanctuary where he created the solo multi-media theater piece The Animal Show, which premiered in New York City in 2016 and continues to be performed in venues throughout the United States.

Reviews

"...about finding who you are and learning about the unconditional love of an animal." --Adam Rothenberg, Call Me Adam

"I don't understand why all artists aren't vegan ... Artists try to see the world. They're not following the fold. They're not trying to be manipulated. They're trying to be original and expressive and see the world rather than sleepwalk." --Caryn Hartglass, Responsible Eating and Living

"You did my very favorite form of advocacy and you did it well, which is the arts. You also made it a very interactive experience." --Jasmin Singer, Our Hen House

"With his book and album together, Michael assails our senses not only visually but aurally assaults our ears with emotion; his emotion. This is his story, this is his heart and he is giving it all up." --Vegan Cable Guy

"I have your beautiful book in my hand and it made me feel all warm and tingly." --JL Fields, Easy Vegan Radio

"For people who love art, you see what's happening, the art that's in the book, and that's in the words, and you can't not see what's happening to animals." --JL Fields, Easy Vegan Radio

"Composer, musician, performer and activist Michael Harren is such a talented and powerful voice for the animals, reminding us that living more compassionately is always within reach. --Marla Rose, co-founder VeganStreet.com
