Stereo Embers The Podcast 0400: Binnie Klein (In These Trees)

“The Quiver”

A poet, a radio host on WPKN and a memoirist, the New Haven based psychotherapist Binnie Klein is also a Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at Yale. Her 2010 memoir, by the way, Blows To The Head, How Boxing Changed My Mind, is a revelation, But let’s get back to the poetry. Klein started the indie music collective In These Trees back in 2019 and her friendship with Australian singer/songwriter Tartie that resulted in an exchange of poetry, augmented that collective’s strength with a ten-song album of heart-stopping beauty that is some of the most compelling and sonorous music of the year. Stereo Embers’ Dave Cantrell describes the album as burning with aching, perseverant grace and goes on to say that when hearing it, he collapse every time, dropping into that kind of breath-caught, near-tears surrender that amounts to what I can only think to call ‘the innate emotional wow of recognition. Yes, he likes it. And I do too. A lot.
