Isabeau Waia'u Walker - Heavyweight

Heavyweight | Heavyweight is personal; the soundtrack for a heavy heart shored up with gratitude and tenderness. Heavyweight owns up to flaws, admits to confusion and confesses failure but it’s not a surrender. It’s the wily smile and bruised cheekbone still standing in the next round; the bottoming out and a heartfelt, heart-full return. Heavyweight is hers but also yours. These songs can hold your weight. “Take your heaviness / and give it back to the earth’s own weight / the mountains are heavy, the oceans are heavy.” - Rainer Maria Rilke, from The Poetry of Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus
