{"product_id":"patti-smiths-horses-9780826427922","title":"Patti Smith's Horses","description":"Described as the perfect fusion of poetry and garage band rock and roll (the original concept was \"rock and Rimbaud\"), \u003ci\u003eHorses \u003c\/i\u003ebelongs as much to the world of literary and cultural criticism as it does to the realm of musicology. While \u003ci\u003eHorses \u003c\/i\u003epays homage to the record's origins in the nascent New York punk scene, the book's core lies in a detailed analysis of Patti Smith's lyrics and includes discussions of lyrical preoccupations: love, sex, gender, death, dreams, god, metamorphosis, intoxication, apocalypse and transcendence. Philip shaw demonstrates how \u003ci\u003eHorses \u003c\/i\u003etransformed the possibilities of both poetry and rock music; and how it achieved nothing less than a complete and systematic derangement of the senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.56h x 4.84w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826427922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Shaw is a Reader in the Department of English at the University of Leicester.
