Kevin Kane, author of Seeking Mirth and Beauty: Musings on How Things Come to Be, will be appearing at the Riverdale Neighborhood House in the Bronx on June 17th for a book signing, author reading, and discussion centered around Bob Dylan, creativity, and the mystery of where art comes from.
Seeking Mirth and Beauty is not a traditional biography or a simple decoding of Dylan’s lyrics. Instead, it’s a thoughtful, reflective collection of essays about art, music, imagination, and the way certain songs stay with us long after we hear them.
The evening will include reading, reflection, conversation, and even a few Dylan songs performed by Kevin as he explores the questions at the heart of the book: How do songs fit into the world of art? Where does songwriting come from? And what are we really seeking when we seek mirth and beauty?
If you’re in the Bronx area, this sounds like a lovely, intimate event for readers, music lovers, Dylan fans, and anyone who enjoys thinking deeply about creativity and the human experience.
