"In ""A Songwriter's Grimoire: prac4cal notes for a mys4cal prac4ce"", art philosopher and professional songwriter Andy Eppler employs his signature comedic style to dispel magical thinking around the crea;ve process without sacrificing any of the power or meaning that fuels great art. Eppler uses the lens of songwri;ng to encourage ar;sts and to deal with the kinds of issues that any crea;ve person has to face, such as: having safe sex with the Muse; defining the purpose of art; and using language at its highest expressive level.

Along with these encouraging and prac;cal chapters, readers will find a large collec;on of Eppler's own lyrics from his numerous original albums.

His message to artsts: Your best work awaits you and the world desperately needs you to make it. With the right framing and some technical skill set there is no stopping you."
