indulgences

by Andrew Hammer

A departure from the political tone of his band Hear and his writing on politics, Andrew Hammer in this book reveals a personal side that is both passionate and skeptical. An inquisitive spirituality is at the centre of Hammer's work, which alternates between themes both light and dark. From the beautifully simple opening poem 'sound will pour' to the final poem 'hitorerut' (the Hebrew word for awakening), Hammer reveals an unexpected talent as a poet that exceeds that of many other musicians who aspire to poetry.
