Rod McKuen (April 29, 1933 - January 29, 2015) was an American poet, singer-songwriter, and composer. He was one of the best-selling poets in the United States during the late 1960s and early seventies. Throughout his career, McKuen produced a wide range of recordings, which included popular music, spoken word poetry, film soundtracks and classical music. He earned two Academy Award nominations for his music compositions. McKuen's translations and adaptations of the songs of Jacques Brel were instrumental in bringing the Belgian songwriter to prominence in the English-speaking world. His poetry deals with themes of love, the natural world and spirituality. McKuen's songs sold over 100 million recordings worldwide, and 60 million books of his poetry were sold as well. Born in the depth of the Depression to a dime-a-dance hostess, McKuen never knew his father. his only fragment of information, callously revealed to him in adolescence, shattered the image of the father he'd formed in his mind: neither wartime ace nor movie hero, he was just a man passing through - leaving behind him Rod, a bastard son. This book is Rod McKuen's story of his search for the identity of the man who held the key to his own inner turmoil. His diligent and often harrowing quest is described with all the compassion and honesty which millions of his readers have come to appreciate in his poetry. This is just one of a large number of the poet's books I am selling on this site. Ref QQQ 5. Signed by Author(s). Nº de ref. del artículo: 033785
