"Ryan Adams, one of America's most consistently interesting singer/songwriters, has written a passionate, arresting, and entertaining book of verse. Fans are going to love it, and newcomers will be pleased and startled by his intensity and originality. The images are vivid and the voice is honest and powerful."--Stephen King, author of Duma Key

"Ryan Adams writes with equal parts precision and recklessness; the blood he draws from the text is easily as unnerving as its unapologetic tenderness. He is proof that poetry will find its writer."--Mary-Louise Parker, actress ...

from "The Cockfighter's Daughter"

I found my father,
face down, in his homemade chili

off his face with a knife.

Dog Ear

Condition: Used - Good

Literary Nonfiction. Art. Photography. The concept of DOG EAR is simple and straightforward: dog-eared pages of mass-market paperbacks are photographed to isolate the small diagonally bisected squares or rectangles of text. The photographs are formally quite neutral and sedate cursorily reminiscent of Alber's "Homage to the Square" series of prints, paintings and tapestries but the text also demands attention and it is what allows or coaxes the viewer to linger. As Kenny Goldsmith says in his introduction: "The idea that there's no one correct way to engage with an artwork is at the heart of E...
