"Poetry Man" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Phoebe Snow. The song was written by Snow, produced by Dino Airali, and first appeared on her 1974 self-titled debut album. On American Top 40 in September 1980, Casey Kasem claimed that Phoebe Snow said that the song is about Jackson Browne. This later was dispelled by Snow as rumor that had arisen only because Browne was the first musician she had toured with after release of the song.
Wow! I've been listening to Phoebe since I was in my middle twenties (I'm 52 in three days) and I've been playing and writing songs for even longer. Watching her live with her guitar is always so amazing. It makes me see just how mediocre I am. But it's O.K. So does listening to Joni Mitchell, or Alison Krauss, or Sarah Slean, or....., hmmm, maybe I should just stop listening to such good music!
