Dickens is Turner's partner in one of many of the duets played throughout Twin Lead Lines; along with a book-length series of anagram couplets, the twin-lead wire used to transmit radio signals, and the twin lead style of guitar playing made popular by Dickens' band. Turner deftly moves between traditional and invented forms in these poems, which - like a country song - are by turns funny and searching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLou Turner is a writer and musician (Styrofoam Winos, Ryan Davis \u0026amp; the Roadhouse Band) based in Nashville, TN.
