Carefully curated by the artist himself, this is the follow-up
collection of lyrics from one of the most innovative and enduring
songwriters of the last century. Readers will find examples of all the
features of the world that Van Morrison has created through his
work: the back streets and mystic avenues; memories of childhood wonder
and of adult work; the chime of church bells and the playing of the
radio; the generous naming of other artists and the joy of solitude;
love and sharp dealing; consolation and grace.
