"TANIA LEON'S STRIDE: A Polyrhythmic Life by Alejandro L. Madrid
(http://go.illinois.edu/f21madrid) is a thoughtful and inclusive biography of the composer and conductor, and provides a unique context to her life and work.

Thank you to everyone who has been tuning in to hear Margaret Bonds on BBC Radio 3 Composer of the Week. It was such an honour to contribute to this series and such a joy to hear it all come together.
