Johnny Cash was one of America’s “greatest poets,” according to troubadour turned Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan, but he was also something a pack rat, his son John Carter Cash tells People.
Which is a good thing for fans of the Man in Black, whose genre-spanning songs made him one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 20th century.
This week, a collection of Cash’s poetry – Forever Words: The Unknown Poems – which his son discovered amongst his father’s massive stash of hand-written notes and papers, will hit bookstores.
“He never really threw anything away,” the younger Cash says of his iconic dad,...

President Barack Obama was sworn into his second term in office by Chief Justice John Roberts on Monday, January 21. Richard Blanco was on hand, too, as the inaugural poet. The, openly gay engineer, Cuban immigrant, and relatively young man on the rostrum at just 44 years-old, gave what David Freedlander at the Daily Beast called a soaring recitation of his Whistman-esque poem 'One Day'. Blanco is the latest in a relatively short line of inaugural poets stretching back to January 20, 1961 when Robert Frost recited 'The Gift Outright' at the swearing-in of John F. Kennedy. But he wasn’t the only poet to recite a poem on inauguration day to mark the beginning of Obama’s second term. Yahoo commissioned five individuals to read or recite original works of poetry in front of a camera to commemorate Inauguration Day 2013. Those individuals include Pulitzer Prize winners, James Tate and Paul Muldoon; Japanese-American Brenda...

At the behest of Yahoo News, Pulitzer Prize-winning writers James Tate and Paul Muldoon and blog-prize-almost-winning writer James Franco were commissioned to capture Obama’s historic second inauguration in verse. Instead, Franco hammered out something called “Obama In Asheville,” then donned a stained T-shirt to drone it into his webcam while lying in bed. It contains lines about Tom Cruise and burritos. At the behest of absolutely no one, I commissioned myself to write a poem about James Franco’s poem. Chicago, Illinois, is where The Bob Newhart Show takes place And there are some good pierogi places F. Scott ...

In James Franco's defense, Yahoo! News specifically asked him to write the poem, and in Yahoo! News's defense, they also commissioned poems from Pulitzer Prize winners James Tate and Paul Muldoon. But those are really all the excuses that you can make for "Obama in Asheville," Franco's latest odd and rambling piece of writing, which he reads aloud — from a dimly lit bedroom — in the video below. There is a line about burritos. Katie Holmes gets a shout-out. Here, just watch.If you would rather read and analyze this important work, the full text is here.
