Exploring the ether of the rock-’n’-roll life, from fame and sex to drugs and suicide, Eric Erlandson (who formed the band Hole with Courtney Love) has crafted 52 prose poems to Kurt Cobain in his new book Letters to Kurt, a collection that has been called part Bukowski and part Ginsberg. Joining Erlandson to discuss the book is William Todd Schultz, psychology professor and author of An Emergency in Slow Motion: The Inner Life of Diane Arbus.
