Keep Er Lit: New Selected Lyrics (Faber Social)

Carefully curated by the artist himself, this is the follow-up collection of lyrics from one of the most innovative and enduring songwriters of the last century. Readers will find examples of all the features of the world that Van Morrison has created through his work: the back streets and mystic avenues; memories of childhood wonder and of adult work; the chime of church bells and the playing of the radio; the generous naming of other artists and the joy of solitude; love and sharp dealing; consolation and grace.
