Do who is Dylan? How do you convey such an enigma on a book cover? His image is universal so it seemed this 1966 portrait from the Michael Ochs Archive (Getty Images) was perfect – hypnotic, and hinting at the light and dark in his songwriting.
Serious Dylan criticism is rare. These fascinating, specially commissioned essays by leading poets and critics
examine his poetic genius and astounding cultural and
musical influence.
A fascinating insight into the man Leonard Cohen referred to as 'the Picasso of song’.
