520    "Incredible gravitas and presence and humanity. There's 
       just so much intelligence to everything she does." - NPR, 
       All Songs ConsideredDessa defies category—she is an 
       intellectual with an international rap career and an 
       inhaler in her backpack; a creative writer fascinated by 
       philosophy and behavioral science; and a funny, 
       charismatic performer dogged by blue moods and heartache. 
       She's ferocious on stage and endearingly neurotic in the 
       tour van. Her stunning literary debut memoir stitches 
       together poignant insights on love, science, and language&
       #8212;a demonstration of just how far the mind can travel 
       while the body is on a six-hour ride to the next gig. In 
       "The Fool That Bets Against Me," Dessa writes to Geico to 
       request a commercial insurance policy for the broken heart
       that's helped her write so many sad songs. "A Ringing in 
       the Ears" tells the story of her father building a wooden 
       airplane in their backyard garage. In "Congratulations," 
       she describes the challenge of recording a song for The 
       Hamilton Mixtape in a Minneapolis basement, straining for 
       a high note and hoping for a break. "Call off Your Ghost" 
       chronicles the fascinating project she undertook with a 
       team of neuroscientists to try and clinically excise 
       romantic feelings for an old flame. Her writing is infused
       with scientific research, dry wit, a philosophical 
       perspective, and an abiding tenderness for the people she 
       tours with and the people she leaves behind to be on the 
       road.My Own Devices is an uncompromising and candid 
       account of a life in motion, in music, and in love. Dessa 
       is as compelling on the page as she is onstage, making My 
       Own Devices the debut of a unique and deft literary voice.
