Lyrics and Poems, 1997-2012
John K. Samson is fluent in the inexpressible. Find him on the page or find him in the ether — just find him. —Alissa YorkJohn Samson’s lyrics move me with their detail and empathy. He has an ability to explain feelings we’ve all had but couldn’t verbalize. His songs are beautiful, brutal, honest and comforting, all at the same time. —Craig FinnJohn Samson’s smart, soulful music has saved my life so many times. He’s the prairie poet voice of my generation and also of my kids. —Miriam ToewsThrough this book, I found songs I love to hear given deeper meaning. I discovered new favourites from simply unearthing the strength of the written word. With the release of this collection, John K. Samson has solidified his place as one of the finest Canadian contemporary poets and lyricists. —Dan Darling,Nexus
