Nobel Prize for Literature. A very prestigious award, and after reading through this compilation of his lyrics I can understand why the committee decided as they did. His work is every bit as much poetry as any I have read. And especially what I have read from the more recent award winners. This book covers 55 years and hundreds of titles.

Arguably Bob Dylan is one of the greatest modernist poets. His words are the experience, not only of American culture, but of twentieth century cultural production. Not listening or being aware of Dylan is like not being aware of Kafka: nobody comes the same after diving into their work.
