商品簡介
A VOICE OF THE WARM: THE LIFE OF ROD MCKUEN
A must-read account of the cultural icon and poet laureate of the
’60s and ’70s.
In his 1960s–1970s heyday, Rod McKuen was a phenomenally popular singer-songwriter
as well as the bestselling poet in publishing history. To his legions of fans
around the world, he was a voice of compassion and healing, as much a prophet as
an author/entertainer. McKuen songs like “If You Go Away” and “Jean” earned him
massive hits, while books like Listen to the Warm sold millions of copies.
McKuen’s huge sales and devoted following didn’t stop the critics from calling
his work sentimental kitsch cranked out for the money. Who was this enigmatic
artist who aroused so much love and hatred? A Voice of the Warm: The Life of Rod
McKuen is the first-ever biography of one of the 20th century’s most popular and
misunderstood pop-culture icons. Drawing upon extensive research and over 100
interviews, author Barry Alfonso tells how McKuen overcame childhood physical
and sexual abuse to become a teenage radio host, film actor, and Beat-style poet
before connecting with a vast audience as a writer and recording artist. McKuen’s
role as a pioneering gay rights activist who bridged the ’60s generation gap with a
message of love and tolerance help to make his story uniquely relevant today.
