My Impossible Soul

This book is the first academic volume dedicated to the work of "canonically" metamodern multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens.

Contributors critically examine Stevens' output and impact across the relevant fields of musicology, literature, queer theory, performance studies, religious studies, and cultural studies. The volume provides the first international and interdisciplinary analysis of the music, lyrics, performance process and cultural impact of Sufjan Stevens, through the framework of metamodernism.
