Astral Weeks, Etc.

By Brookes Moody

Astral Weeks, Etc. is a collection of intertextual poetry centered on music, starting with the work of singer-songwriter Van Morrison. With music-from Morrison, his peers, influences, and artistic descendants-as the catalyst and the frame, this collection of poetry explores female friendships, familial bonds, the relationship that we have with art, and the relationship we have with one another and ourselves through art. Employing multiple layers of allusion and musical ekphrasis, these poems operate like music reviews while others engage in counter narratives of classic rock history.
