In Ballad of a Thin Man in 1965, Bob Dylan launched an attack on the myopic critic of culture: “Something is happening here/But you don’t know what it is/Do you, Mr. Jones?’ In this  collection of essays, poets and professors explore different aspects of Dylan’s works – his impact on their own intellectual and artistic lives as well as his wider influence.  Contributors include Mark Ford, poet; Lavinia Greenlaw, poet;  Aidan Day, Professor of British Literature and Culture, University of Aarhus, Denmark; Daniel Karlin, Professor of English, University College, London and many other luminaries from the academic world.
