Tom Waits

If there was ever a musician worthy of calling himself a poet, it’s Tom Waits. So it should be no surprise that the eccentric troubadour has announced the release of ‘Hard Ground,’ a book that will combine his poetry with photographer Michael O’Brien’s images of the homeless.

The book, which is modeled after 1941’s ‘Let Us Now Praise Famous Men’ — a collaboration between poet James Agee and Walker Evans, who supplied shots of Depression-era farmers — marks Waits publishing debut and will be released this March.
