With a 4.6-star rating from 135+ reviews and ranking #311 in American Poetry, this used book in good condition offers readers a deeply personal and rhythmic exploration of themes like love, loss, and identity, blending the spirit of 90s alternative rock with literary finesse. ## Description The hit poetry collection from the creative force behind The Smashing Pumpkins Having risen to fame during the grunge era in the early nineties, Billy Corgan is among the most respected figures of the alternative rock world―a visionary artist who, more than a decade later, still commands a devoted following. Long admired for his evocative songwriting, Corgan 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 an imagistic journey through the intensely personal as Corgan throws into sharp relief issues of love, loss, identity, and loyalty. Crafted with a thoughtful and cadenced approach that shares the same allegiance to thunder and quiet found in his music, these writings further solidify Corgan's place as the voice of a generation. Review: Genius of music... and poetry - There's no doubt that Billy Corgan is absolutely brilliant in all that involves feelings. Even that music has poetry, many times is a hard work to unlink a stuff from another - but Billy make it with such an incomparable mastery. I'm Brazilian, don't have an impeccable English, but even so I'm able to breath poetry in each line of this book. An indispensable reading not only for the Pumpkins/Corgan fans, but also all the fans of really good and sensible poetry. Review: good book - Very good book of poetry. I was very entertained by how he jumps around from one idea to the next in hiw poems; and in the end all his randomly jotted down thoughts come together in what is just an amazing poem. Once you read the first poem, The Poetry of My Heart, you wont want to put the book down. I know i couldnt. Very good book. Well written and thought out. 5 stars, Billy. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #163,755 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #311 in American Poetry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 135 Reviews | ## Images ![Blinking with Fists: Poems - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71f2p5m+6CL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genius of music... and poetry *by E***A on September 17, 2010* There's no doubt that Billy Corgan is absolutely brilliant in all that involves feelings.
