About this book
What Is Life is a book of reflections. It is a culling of essays written since 1983 and poems written since 1980. For the most part, this book excludes most of the cultural criticism and music-related pieces that made up the bulk of my writing during this period. What is here is a lot of stuff I have thought about in the midnight hours.--Introduction.
