Editorial Review:

"She's got the gift of lyrical precision-nothing cuts to the core quite like the resolution of DiFranco rhyme."-Billboard

With eight Grammy nominations, a gold record, and sales of over 4.5 million, Ani DiFranco is one of America's most fiercely independent and beloved musicians, as well as an outspoken voice of conscience. For the first time, she releases a book of poetry and paintings capturing her essential artistry that has helped define and invigorate a new generation.

Ani DiFranco: Verses rages, eulogizes, menaces, revels, and envisions. With a poet's precision and a citizen's stake, DiFranco finds the meeting places of intimacy and politics, of self and country, of resolve and compromise, and of the fickle and magnificent capacities of love and solitude.

In 1990 at the age of eighteen, Ani DiFranco rewrote the rules of the record industry when she created her own label, Righteous Babe Records, as an alternative to beckoning corporate offices. Since then, RBR has released nineteen full-length DiFranco albums to critical acclaim, and is now home to over a dozen cutting-edge new artists. DiFranco was named one of the top twenty-five most influential artists of the past twenty-five years by CMJ New Music (alongside Nirvana and U2) and one of 21 Feminists for the 21st Century by Ms. Magazine. Together with Ani DiFranco: Verses, she released her first retrospective album, Canon, in September 2007, and proceeded on a twenty-city tour in the United States.

Ani DiFranco: Verses Reviews:
A Great Compilation
2009-06-13 - I've always loved Ani's music and movies and the book Verses is no different. It's like reading her lyrics as poetry instead of hearing it as musical poetry. I even read "Self Evident" outloud to a friend who was blown away by it.

This book is worth it and gives you a whole new outlook on her lyrics.

Great!
2009-06-01 - Ani is an amazing poet I love her work, highly recomended if you enjoy her music.

Brava on all counts.
2009-02-15 - Ani DiFranco shares herself. And allows the reader to experience understanding something new about themselves. Brava on all counts. A pleasure...thank you.

Amazing
2008-04-14 - If you're a true Ani fan, you need this book! She's unbelievably talented - Verses is a perfect addition to all her albums.

Big hit as a present
2008-04-08 - Bought this for my wife, she absolutely loves it. Me? Well, I am not really into Ani so I wouldn't quite give it 5 stars but I am under strict orders here to give this Verses 2 thumbs up. If you're a fan, you'll enjoy this.
