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’s freedom of expression. This creative license is organized under seven headings – The Humanities, Life \u0026amp; Death, There’s Politics in Everything, Double Helix, Soapbox Sermonettes, Time Time Time, and Ars Nova 2020. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRik’s poetry (literally) reinvents his own retirement, and it’s not just some aging dilettante’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. \u003ci\u003eReinvention\u003c\/i\u003e, his first book, makes some sense of a life that always went in a lot of different directions at once. Finally, he’s given himself permission to chase a mode of self-expression with less commercial potential … than jazz guitar recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ECW Press Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49364830388528,"sku":"BDf784","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/153156-f784-Square.jpg?v=1734533448","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-f784","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
