Bob Dylan stands at the door. His leathered hand is on the knob, but he can’t bring himself to turn it. What’s the point?
Based on the life and songs of Bob Dylan, A Razor’s Edge takes readers on a surreal yet emotional journey alongside the famed songwriter: to drink at a roadside bar in rural Minnesota, to speak with God on the top of Mt. Sinai, and to rekindle a failing relationship over a cup of coffee. Along the way, these poems interrogate the tangled relationships between artists, their work, and their audience.
