Equipment for Living: On Poetry and Pop Music by Michael Robbins

3.0

I fully admit my disappointment in this book is my own fault. I think when I checked it out, I was expecting/hoping for more an exploration of form and function, and while there is a bit of that, I find it gets frequently derailed by analysis and criticism of specific artists and works. My minimal knowledge of both poetry and pop music means, rather than be invited to think on the subjects, I pretty much have to take the author's word for it.
