Description
An anthology of 113 original poems inspired by Taylor Swift songs, from a powerhouse group of contemporary poets - including Diane Seuss, Amanda Lovelace, Hollie McNish, Richard Siken, Ilya Kaminsky, Joy Harjo, Lang Leav, Paul Muldoon, Maggie Smith, Jane Hirshfield and Yusef Komunyakaa.
With a record-breaking four Grammy awards for Album of the Year, Taylor Swift's lyrics have been heard by millions around the world - clever, authentic, and elegantly written, to her fans these songs are a kind of modern poetry. In Invisible Strings, poet, professor and dedicated Swiftie Kristie Frederick-Daugherty has brought together 113 new poems, each inspired by a particular Taylor Swift song. Taking a cue from Taylor's love of clues and puzzles, test your knowledge of every era - from Fearless to folklore, Reputation to The Tortured Poets Department, vault tracks included - to match each poem to the song it is a response to. For Swifties, this is a creative and affectionate reimagining of their favourite writer's culture-defining discography - with a chance to see these songs in a brand new way. For poetry lovers, this one-of-a-kind anthology is an unparalleled collection of new work from some of the most lauded and exciting voices in contemporary poetry.Author Bio
