Letters of Love and Loss: Alex Woodard’s [FOR THE SENDER]
an interview by Ruth Gearson

Alex Woodard’s release, FOR THE SENDER, a combined novelette/CD composition, inspired by the letters he received relating to the loss of his beloved dog, Kona (from the widow of a slain police officer, a first-responder in Haiti, the director of a shelter for homeless kids, and a woman who lost her soul mate) suggests that we are all united in part, by the loss of whom we love.
