Music is the car and driver of Jukebox. These poems explore the intersection between the musicality of language and musical references as signposts of meaning. The song lyrics and instrumental riffs that take up space in our brains (where arguably classic literature should be?) infiltrate the poems and proceed to assume a prominent position. They return author and reader to the moment when first heard and people and places associated with those moments. Musical references liberally salt the book's first section. The shorter second section addresses those singers "everyone has heard" - the birds that poets so love. The third section speaks to ideas and spaces of silence. And so a loud book goes not gentle, but quiet.
