Our Lost Hearts, Leslie Uyeda's first song cycle, written for soprano and piano was composed in 1996 and premiered in Vancouver BC in 1997. The seven songs tell one woman's story of love and loss, and of her journey to find peace and the courage to go on. All the poems are by Canadian poet Brenda Brooks, and are taken from Blue Light in the Dash, a collection of Brooks's poetry published in 1995 by Polestar.
