The Sanctity of Rhyme is a metamusical exegesis, in poetry and prose, of an Americana Desolation Punk Rock band, Crying 4 Kafka. Though band narratives generally follow a simple formula (e.g. unbridled sex, excessive drugs, trace elements of plot, etc.) this book is different. The Sanctity of Rhyme is a singular poetic vision that draws freely from the traditions of Elizabeth Bishop, Joseph Brodsky, B.H.

Produktbeschreibung
The Sanctity of Rhyme is a metamusical exegesis, in poetry and prose, of an Americana Desolation Punk Rock band, Crying 4 Kafka. Though band narratives generally follow a simple formula (e.g. unbridled sex, excessive drugs, trace elements of plot, etc.) this book is different. The Sanctity of Rhyme is a singular poetic vision that draws freely from the traditions of Elizabeth Bishop, Joseph Brodsky, B.H. Fairchild, Rimbaud, Anne Sexton, Jack Spicer and others, crafted with the cadence and manic energy of punk rock and slam poetry. Essays, fictive authors and conversations, lyrics, flyers, photos, drawings, and remnants of parental abuse populate the text. The Sanctity of Rhyme is ultimately a tribute to personal autonomy and artistic freedom.
Autorenporträt
Erika Blair is a professor, publisher and poet. She lives part-time in Joshua Tree, California......REVIEWS....."Shocking!" Greg Graffin (Bad Religion). "The dominant impression is being lost in the labyrinths of someone's unconscious, or suspended weightless in a spaceship trying in vain to catch allusions as they bounce off the walls. Someone is writing poetry in trochaic tetrameter. Li Bai in Mandopop. Who knows best what Father knows Best?" Keith Holyoak, poet (The Gospel According to Judas). "I love the book and the art. I hope it becomes a cult classic!" -Paul du Gre, Producer (Bad Religion, Circle Jerks, Los Lobos, etc.) and Sound Engineer (X, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc.). "Awesome, mind blowing, I can't even talk about it. It's REAL art. One of a kind." -Mike Kresky, artist, field guide author, world class animal foot/footprint illustrator. "Pure unadulterated creative flow. Reminds me of Carl Jung's The Red Book." -Keith Witt, Ph.D., Psychologist and author of Shadow Light and Integral Mindfulness. "Will this band ever find commercial success? Decades from now people will still be trying to figure these guys out. What we really need is a codebook. "The Sanctity of Rhyme" is a start - exhilarating and defiant - but as the reader will soon discover, we now need a codebook for the codebook." -Kathy "Hellflower" Ackerman, Music Executive, Bewildered Records. "Nobody's going to read this. Too challenging and subversive. That's a pity. It's fuckin' dinamita, uncommonly thought-provoking and sublime." -W.H. Awesome, DJ, principal baritone El Gran Teatro de Marfa.
