Ob-la-di Ob-la-da

Beschreibung

Ob-la-di Ob-la-da is filled with quirky character studies, personal narratives, unique & succinct insights, a world of music, and all the clever wordplay fans have come to expect from David Belmont's writing. "David Belmont has written a montage that achieves a remarkable result: a unique form of autobiography that reconstitutes the people, the times, and the music that shaped his special sensibility and interpretation of the world around him. It's a fun and rewarding ride!" -Marc Kaplan, book reviewer for the New York Times "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da has an elegant simplicity... David reveals a series of candid snapshots, capturing people and moments in unguarded honesty." -Matt Hupert, 2020 Acker Award winner "David's poetry is always surprising. He takes us on a journey through a lifetime... It's a wild ride for sure, one you'll not want to miss." -Caroline Donnola, author of The Year That Was "Belmont is a poet for whom remembering is an act of love, and we are grateful for his voice. These poems elegize not what's been lost, rather they celebrate what's been created. Life goes on, bra." -Nancy Green, co-founder, Castillo Theatre, NYC "A beautiful and haunting reading experience." -Nan K. Chase, author of Lost Restaurants of Asheville
