From the d.j.: "In 2000, veteran rock 'n' roller Lou Reed, legendary director Robert Wilson, and a cast of singers and actors premiered Reed's musical POEtry in Hamburg's Thalia Theater." "POEtry bridged the centuries to provide a unique vision of beauty and horror for the dawning 21st century." "In 2003, Reed released (under the title "The Raven") a double CD reprising the musical." Now, for the definitive book version, compiling the songs, verses and narratives that comprise POEtry/The Raven.
