My pal Rik Emmett returns to NSTS this week for part two of our chat about his new poetry book Reinvention, and we cover a lot of ground indeed.   

As he did in part one, Rik shares some fascinating glimpses into his personal history via the new book, and this episode runs the gamut – dealing with the death of loved ones and with our own mortality, some lighter moments including a hilarious story featuring Coney Hatch’s Andy Curran, and even a live musical performance from the man himself. Go out and grab Rik’s new book of poetry Reinvention, you won’t be disappointed.

He’s back! Triumph frontman Rik Emmett, and now Rik Emmett poet, takes over the No Sleep ’til Sudbury podcast for the next two weeks to talk about his new book of poetry, called Reinvention. 

This isn’t a rock star vanity project. It’s a personal, emotional glimpse into Rik’s life history and a look at the world from his perspective, written with tremendous candor. As always, Rik and I have some fun discussing the work – he plays and sings, and forces me to read one of my favourite passages aloud (I should have done multiple takes).
