Jam Session and Other Poems - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sax and trumpet player, poet, literary editor since 1966. He is the author of numerous works most recently JAM SESSION (Hanging Loose Press, 2020) and IF THE DELTA WAS THE SEA (Hanging Loose Press, 2009). "Fusion" and "Synergy" are overused terms, but they aptly describe the relationship between music and poetry in Dick Lourie's new book: these poems literally depend on the music for their existence; and the poems in turn have deepened the poet's relationship with the music as he takes to the stage and performs it. The book reflects his professional work over a half-century as both poet and musician.
