Review on Goodreads
"On the pages of Conversations with My Other Voice, Buick Audra proves adept at handling the fallout associated with a dysfunctional childhood, while coping with the rigors of finding her voice as a multi-media artist in a world where self-acceptance is challenged on a daily basis. The result of which undertaking is the writer's hard-won right to identify as an independent woman who is blessed with the yearning to create meaningful art."

MASS: ESSAYS ON MEMORY, LANGUAGE, & THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS
by buick AUDRA
Published September 29, 2023
In her second collection, Buick Audra dives into the dark blue waters of her memory to deliver a body of work about her adolescence and early adulthood in Massachusetts. She swims between formative friendship dynamics, collaborations, and the music scene that shaped her early career. The essays serve as companion pieces to the songs of the third Friendship Commanders album, MASS. Between the music and the prose, Buick demonstrates that putting new language around older experiences can sometimes change the narrative entirely.
