About the Artist
Keith Flynn is the author of three collections of poetry: The Talking Drum (1991), The Book of Monsters (1994), and The Lost Sea (Iris Press, 2000). From 1987-1997, he was lyricist and lead singer for the nationally acclaimed rock band, The Crystal Zoo, which produced two albums; Swiming Through Lake Eerie (1992) and Pouch (1996). His poetry has appeared in many journals around the world, including The Colorado Review, Rattle, The Cuirt Journal (Ireland), Word and Witness: 100 Years of NC Poetry, Poetry Wales, The Southern Poetry Review, Shenandoah, and Crazyhorse.

Album Description
"Nervous Splendor" is a spoken-word and music compilation featuring poems from all three of Keith Flynn's previous collections, The Talking Drum, The Book of Monsters, and The Lost Sea, as well as six new songs with a full band and several a cappella blues and gospel pieces. Recorded in Memphis and New York City, the music and lyrics are versatile and hard-hitting, with musical styles ranging from rootsy acoustic ballads to Americana to hard rock rave-ups. The Small Press Review describes this one of a kind album as "Blake doing rock and roll, filled with the spirit of Howling Wolf and Bill Monroe." Oyster Boy Review has called Keith Flynn, "an American Rimbaud, whose morality is stronger than the institutions which claim to govern us."
