Full description for Pop Poems

• In the tradition of the Decadents, the Surrealists and the beat poets, Jeremy Reed has never been content to follow the fashionable trends in literature, preferring to explore the more colourful world of the imagination and to give a voice to the outsider. In this collection his poems about popular cultural figures of a previous generation - Cocteau, Man Ray, Edith Piaf and Billie Holiday - are brought together with his equally vivid poems about more recent pop icons, from David Bowie and Mick Jagger to Morrissey, Marc Almond, Prince and Madonna. Accompanying them are compelling photographs by Mick Rock, creator of some of the definitive images of Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and other luminaries of the 1970s and 1980s. Paralleling the poems, these portraits memorably convey the quality of the music and the larger-than-life personalities of its creators.
