"Reparations" is an original work by KCKCC Theory and Improvisation Professor Justin Binek, set to a poem by Kathryn Sparks. Dr. Binek is currently writing an entire song cycle on Sparks' 28-poem collection "Lullabies and Nocturnes." "Reparations" is the third poem in the "Lullabies" portion of the cycle. The entire cycle is inspired by Binek's eleven-month-old daughter, Cora.
