Gig: The Life and Times of a Rock-star Fantasist – the bestselling memoir from the new Poet Laureate
Autor Simon Armitageen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2009
_____________________________
A poet is a rock star without the sex'n'drugs, or the rock'n'roll. But that never stopped Simon Armitage dreaming, and inGig, he explores how music and the muse intertwine in work and in life. Crammed with stories, anecdotes, jokes, absurdities, the odd informal homily, pitfalls and pratfalls (not all the author's own), Yorkshire life and death,Gigis about the dream and reality of what you are, and what you might have been.
