More Songs the Radio Won't Play

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of music and poetry, this collection reimagines popular songs through a unique lens. Stan Rogal employs self-referentiality, humor, and a blend of the erudite and the profane to challenge traditional poetic forms. By incorporating allusions to various arts and sciences, along with biographical and historical elements, he creates a contemporary playlist that resonates with today's audience. The use of non-traditional language and sampling techniques further enhances the innovative nature of these poems.
