Lost at 27: Musicians, Artists, Mortals

Are you a fan of Kurt Cobain? Does Jim Morrison light your fire? Do you groove to Grateful Dead or pogo to The Gits? The phenomenon known as the 27 Club has baffled people for years. Why have so many talented members of our society died at the tender age of 27? Why have other greats survived that age?

Some died violently, by guns or drugs. Others died of disease or accident. One was murdered by a serial killer. Regardless of how they left this world, these artists have captured our collective hearts.

Music and art have a way of changing our lives. In Lost at 27: Musicians, Artists, Mortals, poets   express a deep connection to the artists and their stunning creations. Their words explore the lives, accomplishments, and deaths of many of those who left us too soon.

Remember with us those featured here. We hope you find a favorite—old or new—in this poetry collection.
