Twelve shows, about an hour each, discussing Dylan’s lyrics as poetry. Each show is about one-half music, one-half commentary.

This series of 12 one-hour radio shows divides the time between commentary on the lyrics and playing Dylan singing them. Bob Dylan is the contemporary American successor of Walt Whitman, Woody Guthrie and Allan Ginsberg as a democratic poet in opposition to the elite tradition represented best by the early T. S. Eliot.

This series was aired on WETS in Johnson City, Tennessee in the fall of 2008.
