Piece Description
Show one introduces three questions the series will address: What kind of poet is Dylan? How can we deepen our appreciation of his work? How does his poetry work? This show provides short answers to each. Later shows develop these much more fully. The song, "To Ramona," becomes the primary focus. It is a simple song in appearance with deep philosophical implications about the state of "radical solitude" in which each of us exist.

Well done!
I've only listened to the first in this series, but I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of them. I'm a 30-something woman whose parents and their contemporaries are/were Dylan fans. However, I only began to appreciate his work about 10 years ago....This program is great for both the serious Dylan fans AND those who are unfamiliar with his music.
