AroarA found inspiration someplace unexpected: in the work of avant-garde poet Alice Notley, whose 2007 collection In the Pines centers on a series of Depression-era visions and was written while Notley was undergoing difficult treatment for hepatitis C. The 14 songs on AroarAs album of the same name correspond to the 14 poems in Notleys work, transmuting her words into folksy song structures and recording them in living rooms throughout Canada.
