"Ryan Adams, one of America's most consistently interesting
singer/songwriters, has written a passionate, arresting, and
entertaining book of verse. Fans are going to love it, and
newcomers will be pleased and startled by his intensity and
originality. The images are vivid and the voice is honest and
powerful."--Stephen King, author of "Duma Key"
"Ryan Adams writes with equal parts precision and recklessness; the
blood he draws from the text is easily as unnerving as its
unapologetic tenderness. He is proof that poetry will find its
writer."--Mary-Louise Parker, actress
""Infinity Blues" is Ryan Adams at his personal, unforgettable
best. Strong and beautiful and funny and pure. Like all his work,
it's soul poetry of the highest order."--Cameron Crowe,
filmmaker
"This is much better than reading a friend's journal. It's more
like watching somebody you love in the bathtub talking to himself.
You're like, wow, he's even good at taking a bath. After reading
"Infinity Blues" (which I think is a great title), I give Ryan
Adams the best compliment I ever got--and the only reason for
reading anyone's poetry. Ryan, I really like your mind."--Eileen
Myles, author of "Cool for You"

"Cardinology, Heartbreaker, Gold" (which includes the popular hit
songs "When the Stars Go Blue" and "New York, New York"), "Love Is
Hell, Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights, " and "Easy Tiger, "but
the world renowned singer/songwriter has always been a poet and
fiction writer at heart. With the release of "Infinity Blues, " his
nonmusical writing is for the first time ever unveiled in book
