Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, I know. This is a rather grandiose claim from a not-so-grand-gal. But I know my poetry - that is - great poetry. And while we may correctly characterize words to music as "lyrics," it is just a label. Because when the words stand on their own (all alone as these do), one has entered an extremely rare vista. And without the music, you receive some of the greatest poetry ever written by anyone. Each and every song is a poem, and rings with the meaning underlying words we toss about like Truth, Time, Courage, Honor, Dignity, Love, Sorrow...and beyond. All I can tell you is that after reading this book - nothing feels, looks or sounds quite the same again. That is - the power of the poet and his words. And I know of no other artist, certainly in my lifetime, who has the genius to provide vast music (as if from a spectacular Philharmonic Orchestra) via words written on a solitary once-blank-page. If you buy any book about Bobby Dylan, please consider this one. You will not be able to read it, however, as a page-turner or coffee-table book. Neither will you necessarily find clues about his private life that belong to him, and him alone. This precious man is a Master Poet, and you will need time to really hear what he has to say. Read the words first within their silence space, then listen to "the lyrics" with the music in his songs. It is an experience that no one should miss in its profound depth of glory, and beauty.
