"Lewis Allan ""Lou"" Reed (1942-2013) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He was the guitarist, vocalist, and principal songwriter of the Velvet Underground, and his solo career spanned five decades. Reed was known for his distinctive deadpan voice, poetic lyrics, and for pioneering and coining the term ""ostrich guitar tuning."" Laura ""Laurie"" Anderson is an American avant-garde artist, composer, musician, and film director whose work spans performance art, pop music, and multimedia projects. She is a graduate of Barnard College and Columbia University, where she obtained an MFA in sculpture. Anderson started dating Reed in 1992, and was married to him from 2008 until his death in 2013."

Reviews for The Art of the Straight Line: My Tai Chi

"""The late, great musician and associates recount his passion for an ancient martial art. ... A pleasure for students of tai chi and fans of Reed's music alike."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""It is not necessary to be a fan of Reed, the Velvet Underground, or the martial arts to appreciate the beauty and serenity the book provides."" -- Library Journal"
