  <description><![CDATA[<em>Sounds of Your Name</em> collects Nate Powell's zines and comics, including his first two books, <em>Tiny Giants</em> and<em> It Disappears</em> (published by Soft Skull). His intricate, sometimes chaotic drawings examine the complications that come with passing from childhood into adulthood. Renderings of friends and family scattered across the country paint tender, sweaty, and memory-soaked portraits of small town life and beyond. Nate addresses the uneasy existential inquiries that bloom in youth and invokes all the elements of great coming of age novels with only a few dozen words.<br/><br/>He captures that most elusive thing that disappears with age: wonder. If most people spend their entire lives longing for past episodes from their youth, then Nate addresses that longing, covering his pages with lost wonder, and offering it, wholeheartedly, back to us. His work offers the hope we might never grow old, and that even if we do, our dreams are always within reach. The power of his work is a reminder of the persistance of joy.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[     I've always enjoyed Powell's work, though some of the human oriented stories are ponderous. I don't mind the, forgive me, emo (in the best sense of the word not MTV crap) angles, the stories of people trying and failing to connect, but they are often difficult to follow.<br/>     What I do lik...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40884501">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<em>Sounds of Your Name</em> collects Nate Powell's zines and comics, including his first two books, <em>Tiny Giants</em> and<em> It Disappears</em> (published by Soft Skull). His intricate, sometimes chaotic drawings examine the complications that come with passing from childhood into adulthood. Renderings of friends and family scattered across the country paint tender, sweaty, and memory-soaked portraits of small town life and beyond. Nate addresses the uneasy existential inquiries that bloom in youth and invokes all the elements of great coming of age novels with only a few dozen words.<br/><br/>He captures that most elusive thing that disappears with age: wonder. If most people spend their entire lives longing for past episodes from their youth, then Nate addresses that longing, covering his pages with lost wonder, and offering it, wholeheartedly, back to us. His work offers the hope we might never grow old, and that even if we do, our dreams are always within reach. The power of his work is a reminder of the persistance of joy.]]>

As a fellow graphic artist, this book helped me develop a better appreciation for creating an emotional setting with an intuitive use of ink and detail (or lack thereof).]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<em>Sounds of Your Name</em> collects Nate Powell's zines and comics, including his first two books, <em>Tiny Giants</em> and<em> It Disappears</em> (published by Soft Skull). His intricate, sometimes chaotic drawings examine the complications that come with passing from childhood into adulthood. Renderings of friends and family scattered across the country paint tender, sweaty, and memory-soaked portraits of small town life and beyond. Nate addresses the uneasy existential inquiries that bloom in youth and invokes all the elements of great coming of age novels with only a few dozen words.<br/><br/>He captures that most elusive thing that disappears with age: wonder. If most people spend their entire lives longing for past episodes from their youth, then Nate addresses that longing, covering his pages with lost wonder, and offering it, wholeheartedly, back to us. His work offers the hope we might never grow old, and that even if we do, our dreams are always within reach. The power of his work is a reminder of the persistance of joy.]]>
