Revisiting ‘poet’ Bob Dylan

Bengaluru | Saturday | 21st September, 2019

Summary:

By Express News ServiceBENGALURU : No one can say Bob Dylan’s writing is anything but poetry. Him being the first musician to win the Nobel Prize was proof of that,” Sourav Roy, a poet and founding editor of online magazine Bengaluru Review, tells CE. Calling himself a Dylan enthusiast, he adds, “The more we engage with his lyrics, the more we end up appreciating that a poet of his calibre lived through our times.” And in order to do just that, Roy partnered with poet Samantak Bhadra to organise an upcoming poetry workshop that appreciates Dylan and his poetic genius. Each song, Bhadra adds, will be ‘dissected and discussed’ completely before moving on to the next. While the event may seem like a dream come true for any Dylan and poetry fan, it can also come with its share of challenges..
