【内容简介】

Bob Dylan is the only American poet to win the Noble Prize. He was also a controversial choice because his work was sung as songs, not printed in a book as poetry. The lecture will focus on analyzing some of his song lyrics to understand his poetic message. The songs to be discussed include "Blowing in the Wind," his most famous song as well as several others.
