Reseña del editor:

A compilation of Powell's first two "Soft Skull" comics, this book includes some all-new work. Powells' 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 and memory soaked portraits of small town punk life and beyond. Powell addresses the uneasy existential inquiries that bloom in youth and invokes all the elements of the great coming-of-age novels with only a few dozen words. Powell 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 Powell addresses that longing, covers his pages with lost wonder, and offers 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."Sounds of Your Name" builds itself, vignette by vignette, into one interwoven family of lofty dreams and Deep-South disappointment, car crashes and love letters, first kisses and four-tracks. Powell's figures vibrate with frenetic energy of a punk show as they fight to hold on to the sweetness of life. Powell explodes urgency, love, and sadness across the day-to-day banalities of what people do to survive in simple black and white. The power of his work is a reminder of the persistence of joy.
