A collection of lyrical essays by poet and cultural critic, Daniel Nester, draws on the rock band Queen for inspiration. As in the first volume, a short essay, or riff, accompanies Queen's last five studio albums in the order they were recorded. The plot' covers the band's retreat from the US into secrecy, but also includes Queen's triumphant performance at Live Aid and their other European performances. Not quite memoir, neither prose poetry nor rock book, but it will, nonetheless, rock you.'
