Described, variously, as the perfect fusion of poetry and garage
band rock and roll (the original concept was "rock and Rimbaud"),
Horses belongs as much to the world of literary and cultural
criticism as it does to the realm of musicology. Thus, while due
attention will be given to the record's origins in the nascent New
York punk scene, the book's core will be a detailed analysis of
Patti Smith's lyrics - the book will approach Horses as a work of
performance poetry more than anything else.The book's centrepiece
will be a track-by-track breakdown of the original album sequence,
together with detailed discussion of outtakes and early recordings.
There will be sections that focus on a specific lyrical
preoccupation: love, sex, gender, death, dreams, God,
metamorphosis, intoxication, apocalypse and transcendence. Philip
Shaw demonstrates how Horses transformed the possibilities of both
poetry and rock music; how it achieved nothing less than a complete
and systematic derangement of the senses.
