Publisher Marketing:

A brazenly ambitious debut it feels almost too much sometimes, like art or love, or both of them, if we are really lucky, sometimes do.
Rebecca Brown, author ofYou Tell the Stories You Need To BelieveandThe Gifts of the Body.

The Unquiet Countryis a conspiracy against time. Hovering between history and longing, disease and inspiration, nourishment and craving, Patrick Milian shows us what music can do to the room, the ruin, the body of sound suspended inside breath.
Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, author ofTouching the Art.

With tender restraint and formal dexterity, Patrick Milian has built a world of language set to music, language tunedto a music of its own. This striking debut offers precise inquiries into history and aesthetics, surviving and suffering; above all, it claims fragility as strategy, performance, and a way through.
Erin Marie Lynch, author ofRemoval Acts.

The Unquiet Countryis a book of kinship the legacies we inherit, the self we create and reflect, and ultimately, queer belonging and respect.

In this hybrid debut, Patrick Milian explores the lives of Nadia Boulanger (18871979), arguably the most important composition pedagogue of the twentieth century, and her sister Lili Boulanger (18931918), a brilliant composer who died young. Revealing his status as HIV+, he eruditely considers camp, the femme fragile, and the transformative nature of illness as the lives of these remarkable sisters and their music intertwine with his own history and voice.

The Unquiet Countryincludes an audio download of music commissioned from Emerson Eads and Milian reading the book in its entirety.
