Reseña del editor:

An anthology of poems concerned with Bob Dylan’s life, work, and cultural impact, this collection features the work of those who were inspired by the legend. Considered one of the most distinguished lyricists of the postwar period, Dylan has entertained millions with the imagery, wit, and technique of his writing, be it in songs of love, protest, or faith. With contributions by a myriad of poets—Peter Finch, Mark Ford, Allen Ginsberg, Sophie Hannah, Paul Henry, and Hugo Williams to name a few—this book is a response to Dylan’s creativity and enormous capacity to influence a generation.
