We couldn’t be prouder of @taylormacnyc and @mattraymusic as we announce the publication of ‘Bark of Millions’, a companion to the stage production we built together with an incredible community of artists and presenter partners. ‘Bark of Millions— the Book’ is a two-volume set that includes both the music and lyrics for 50 of the show’s songs and features lush illustrations by @zacblumner . Our show is a fierce, provocative, and luxuriant epic spectacle, and we’re so excited to have it immortalized in this way. The book will be published on Sept 29, but is available for preorder now, wherever books are sold, and at the link in our bio! (Save your receipts, there is a special gift for those of you preordering.)
This is Pomegranate’s second publishing project with the team at Artisan/Black Dog & Leventhal, and we are so grateful to @liaronnen and her entire team at @bdlev for the extraordinary care in everything they do and for the belief in Taylor and Matt’s extraordinary body of work.
Taylor Mac, Matt Ray, and our Bark of Millions community will celebrate this glorious addition to the queer cannon on tour this Fall. Watch this space for details! Interested in joining the book tour? DM us!

From the ever-fertile mind of @robin_frohardt , the short film ‘Non Place’ is now streaming on @allartstv ! The film is a stunning portrait of a singular artist at work— an intimate window into the making of ‘Shopping Center of the Universe’, a theatrical work of live animation currently being developed by Pomegranate with Robin Frohardt.
