Daniel J. Nappo Poetry and Music of Joaquin Sabina

Annotation

The Poetry and Music of Joaqun Sabina: An Angel with Black Wings is a thoroughly researched exploration of the life, music, and song lyrics of the celebrated Spanish singer-songwriter Joaqun Sabina. Often called the Spanish Dylan, Sabina has established his own highly poetic space over the course of his forty-plus years as a recording artist. Using selected song lyrics from his fifteen studio and three major live albums, Daniel J. Nappo analyzes Sabinas use of antithesis, simile, metaphor, synesthesia, rhyme, and other rhetorical and poetic devices. Nappo also devotes a chapter to Sabinas ability as a narrator and concludes the book with a comparison of Sabinas best work with that of the American singer-songwriter and Nobel laureate, Bob Dylan.
