about

Jim Ryan's Subjects of Desire is concerned with individual freedom and its troubled relationship with desire of all sorts. This free-form verse revolves around the need for recognition from another, who also demands attention. Ryan's poetry draws on his background consorting with the Beats in Paris. The poetry and the music intertwine majestically to create an allegorical epic.
