Description
This collection of poems by the rock lyricist Robert Hunter, best known for his songwriting contributions to legendary performers such as Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead, features rhythmic, philosophical meditations on art, authenticity, public perception, and love. Hunter delivers his lines with effective and deceptively simple language, the ideal vehicle for his timeless, wide-ranging observations about the relationships we have with our expectations, our mythology, and each other as we navigate modern life and ephemera.
