{"product_id":"9780692227695","title":"Most Likely to Die","description":"\"Writing in the voice of a rock and roll icon like Keith Richards is an incredible risk, but Hilary Sideris proves up to the task. 'Most Likely to Die' is a romp. With each poem's series of couplets like a guitar tab, her fingering is spot on -- she hits all the notes, and dishes out some wicked riffs.\"\u003cbr\u003e-- Gerry LaFemina, author of \"Steampunk\" and \"Vanishing Horizon\"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"You needn't give a toss about Keith Richards or his autobiography to love Hilary Sideris's 'Most Likely To Die.' Each poem is a stand-alone vignette, with the lasting resonance of a haiku. But the cumulative power of this volume is visceral. These poems, one after another, each as rich as a blues 78, have attitude while still being tender. Covering the full arc of Richards's life, from wartime Britain to Altamont and other crossroads, these poems exemplify how a precise image or anecdote can make an everyman out of an icon.\"\u003cbr\u003e-- Steve Koenig, Editor of \"Acoustic Levitation\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"WOW. Where does one begin? As a jazzman of the same generation, on a similar path, and the designated driver for several stoned-out peers, to and from the famous Altamont concert, I find these poems ring many distant and familiar bells. Earthy and scathingly honest reflections on the Rolling Stones' interactions with substances, one another and their early musical influences, this is a clear and concise portal into their lives and processes of creating the music we've come to know and love.\"\u003cbr\u003e-- Ron McClure, Bassist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by Poets Wear Prada, Hoboken, NJ\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poets Wear Prada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50032159588592,"sku":"9780692227695","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692227695_p0.jpg?v=1784235565","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692227695","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
