Celebrate the timeless connection between poetry and music with more than 150 extraordinary poems written with music as their muse. Through them, experience the power of music to enthrall, evoke, and inspire, whether in opera houses, on road trips, or in the unexpected interior worlds to which music escorts us.

This book's nine sections (Listening to Music; Songs & Singing; The Piano & Piano Lessons; Horns, Woodwinds, & Strings; Composers; Music in Nature; Opera; Jazz & Blues; and Performances) include an exceptional array of contributors, including the most renowned voices from poetry’s present (Mark Doty, Louise Glück, Seamus Heaney, Mary Oliver, Wislawa Szymborska) and its past (Charles Baudelaire, Emily Dickinson, Pablo Neruda, Wallace Stevens), as well as those (Gabrielle Calvocoressi, Jennifer Grotz, Kevin Young) who will determine its future.
