'This mix of genuine humility and hard-won hubris, of mysticism and
technical mastery ... makes Van Morrison quite simply, and quite
indisputably, "The Bard of Belfast".' Paul Muldoon If I ventured in
the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dreams Keep 'Er Lit is
the second volume of Van Morrison's collected lyrics containing one
hundred and twenty songs from across his storied career. It
contains love songs, work songs, songs about the pains and
anxieties of existence, songs of consolation, songs about various
kinds of spiritual quest and the realms of the mystical, and songs
which deal with healing and reconciliation, both with the self and
with others. Then there are the songs of memory and of childhood;
songs about the natural world and about the perspectives it can
provide on time. Taken together with Lit Up Inside, this volume
gives an overview of his fifty-year career, revealing why he is
celebrated as one of the most innovative and enduring songwriters
of our time.

innovative and enduring songwriters of the last century, the reader
will find examples of all the features of the world that Van has
created through his work: the back streets and mystic avenues;
memories of childhood wonder and of adult work; the chime of church
bells and the playing of the radio; the generous naming of other
artists and the joy of solitude; love and sharp dealing;
consolation and grace.
