Poetry from beloved lead guitarist of the multi-platinum record selling legendary band Triumph
Reinvention is a largely autobiographical collection of poetry – a project that followed on the heels of Rik Emmett retiring from a touring musician&apos;s and college educator&apos;s life in early 2019. Inside all of the slashes that define him – singer/songwriter/guitarist/rock star/teacher/columnist – writing has always been his strongest avocation, and the poetic style of «Ultra Talk,» in particular, offered a welcome spark for a songwriter&apos;s freedom of expression. This creative license is organized under seven headings – The Humanities, Life &amp; Death, There&apos;s Politics in Everything, Double Helix, Soapbox Sermonettes, Time Time Time, and Ars Nova 2020.
Rik&apos;s poetry (literally) reinvents his own retirement, and it&apos;s not just some aging dilettante&apos;s bucket list fancy. He discovered a sincere way to tie up a lot of loose ends, fulfill dormant promise, and eschew show biz tangents. Reinvention, his first book, makes some sense of a life that always went in a lot of different directions at once. Finally, he&apos;s given himself permission to chase a mode of self-expression with less commercial potential … than jazz guitar recordings.
