[Nina · Rating 5 out of 5]

A thoroughly enjoyable collection of poetry relating to rock and roll. Some of the poems are about a certain time, some about a specific artist, and others have a broader connection to rock. As someone who frequently converses through song lyrics, I love the intersection of rock music and poetry. The cover is great!
