The Album That Changed My Life

The Album That Changed My Life is the newest book of poems by Jeffery Conway, author of the critically acclaimed mock-epic Phoebe 2002: An Essay in Verse (Turtle Point Press, 2003) a collaboration with poets Lynn Crosbie and David Trinidad, which Michael Cunningham calls "The grandest oddity of recent time, a truly marvelous book." The Album That Changed My Life collects poems written by Conway between the years 1990-2000 and is a kind of "New Wave Bildungsroman" charting Conway's journey from disaffected suburban Los Angeles teen of the '80s to enlightened poet in New York s East Village of the '90s. The Album That Changed My Life is a 2007 Lambda Literary Award Finalist.
