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.

| Excerpt From Book | Spellbound in a bubble of glass,warm flesh believes. Garroted, gelded and clapped in cold irons or left to compost in some carefully calculated public perception, one breath without hesitation suffices to declare that flesh believesto the roots of its teeth or dies. — from "An American Adventure" |
