Leavitt. He writes alt-rock, emo, and folk (with an occasional dash of flamenco). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis poetic style is at once verbose, gentle, and witty; with stanzas that press up against the ineffability of the human experience or satirize cultural norms with melodic wordplay. The result is a panacea for all things trite. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGoing beyond its page, \u003ci\u003eSemantic Hygiene\u003c\/i\u003e includes digital downloads to the music where the lyrics live. The author invites\u003cbr\u003eyou to experience the words before listening to the songs-in a reversal of typical music consumption. Additionally, this collection is speckled with essays on language and lyricism, plus illustrations of the cutest otter possible (among other fancies).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan S.
