Long admired for his evocative songwriting, Corgan embarks on a deeper exploration of literary terrain as a poet. Full of \"the regretful melancholy of his music [and] the rhythmic, angular wordplay of his best Pumpkins lyrics\" (Jeff Vrabel, Chicago Sun-Times), the poems in this collection form an imagistic journey through the intensely personal as Corgan throws into sharp relief issues of love, loss, identity, and loyalty. Crafted with a thoughtful and cadenced approach that shares the same allegiance to thunder and quiet found in his music, these writings further solidify Corgan's place as the voice of a generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBilly Corgan\u003c\/b\u003e is the singer and songwriter for the critically acclaimed, multiplatinum Chicago band Smashing Pumpkins.
