It contains his greatest hits from his first 4 years of slamming (2009-2012), including poems from his chapbook Pamphlet on Unraveling, material from his forthcoming manuscript, and "Misdiagnosis", his most-remembered poem from National Poetry Slam 2011.Granite Fire Alarm is a journey that starts at Manchester West High School, progresses through the narrator's childhood and heartbreaks, chronicles his experiences with the Occupy Movement, and ends back in Manchester with a new appreciation for the city around him. The album serves as a wake-up call to a state which does not recognize the fire consuming it, and offers a hand through the inferno to the healing that waits on the other side.
