Since his first recordings in 1955, Johnny Cash has been an icon in the music world. In his newly discovered poems and song lyrics, we see the world through his eyes. The poetry reveals his depth of understanding, both of the world around him and within - his frailties and his strengths alike. He pens verses in his hallmark voice, reflecting upon love, pain, freedom, fame and mortality. Illustrated with facsimile reproductions of Cash's own handwritten pages, Forever Words is a remarkable addition to the canon of one of America's heroes. His music is a part of our collective history, and here he demonstrates the depth of his talent as a writer. Edited and introduced by Paul Muldoon, with a foreword by John Carter Cash, this is a book sure to delight and surprise fans the world over.

The Man in Black was also an incredibly productive poet who was just as happy to let his pen do the talking .Love, mortality, addiction, humor, spirituality, pain, wonder, hope, heartbreak, freedom and resignation all weave in and out of Cash's poetry just as they did in his songs in an attempt to paint the most accurate portrait of his true self.

In some ways the poems mirror Cash s songwriting, with terse ballads of outsiders in love, and parables drawn from the Bible yet another look at a legend of American music.

In retrospect, we should have assumed that outlaw country musician Johnny Cash was leading a double life as a secret poet.
