Synopsis

Foreword by Ronnie Wood

Unbelievably, Bob Dylan was 70 in 2011. The Captain s Tower is a birthday present anthology of poems concerned with Dylan s life, his work, and his cultural impact. One of the most distinguished lyricists of the post-war period, Dylan has entertained and inspired poets, writers generally and millions of ordinary fans with the imagery, wit and technique of his writing, be it in songs of love, protest, faith or pure Dylan-ness.

In this book poets answer back in a response to Dylan s creativity, capacity to inspire and his enormous influence on culture and writing.

With poems by Allen Ginsberg, Lachlan Mackinnon, Glyn Maxwell, Matthew Sweeney, Jeremy Reed, Linda Chase, Linda France, Mark Ford, Roger McGough, Roddy Lumsden, Paul Muldoon, Simon Armitage, Caroline Bird, Peter Finch, Luke Wright
