Billy Corgan Libros

William Patrick Corgan, Jr. es un cantante, compositor, guitarrista y ocasional poeta estadounidense. Es el vocalista y guitarrista principal de la banda de rock alternativo The Smashing Pumpkins, conocida por su estilo complejo y en capas, y la distintiva voz y los solos de guitarra de Corgan. El crítico musical Jim DeRogatis lo declaró la "estrella de rock más tradicional" de la era alternativa, con todos los rasgos buenos y malos que eso implica. Después de la separación de la banda en 2000, Corgan formó brevemente el grupo Zwan y, tras lanzar un álbum en solitario y una colección de poesía, reformó The Smashing Pumpkins.

"Long admired for his evocative songwriting, Billy Corgan here embarks on a deeper exploration of literary terrain as a poet. Full of "the regretful melancholy of his music [and] the rhythmic, angular wordplay of his best Pumpkins lyrics" (Jeff Vrabel, Chicago Sun-Times), the poems in this collection form a journey through the intensely personal as Corgan throws into sharp relief issues of love, loss, identity, and loyalty. Whether articulating the vicissitudes of a romance run off course or taking a long, hard look inside the soul, Corgan crafts his words with a thoughtful and cadenced approach that shares the same allegiance to thunder and quiet found in his music, and further solidifies his place as the voice of a generation."--BOOK JACKET.
