I've got an essay in the latest issue of Boulevard literary magazine, as part of their symposium on Bob Dylan winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, alongside works by buddy-heroes Adrian Matejka and Cate Lycurgus. Grateful to editor Jessica Rogen for asking me to contribute!
Not yet available online, but you can buy a print copy. Here's an excerpt:
"As artists, readers, and citizens, we could take a cue from Dylan's stubbornness. His intrepidness in meeting America on the ground, in its Triple-A ballparks and graveyards. His dedication to moving forward, his resistance to sliding into the tyranny of self-parody."
