In this rich anthology, Canadian singer/ songwriter Craig Mainprize reminds us that lyrics are a literary form too. Not quite poetry, and not quite song, The Coliseum Waltz boldly explores the space between the two. Selected from over 75 songs written by Mainprize over the past five years, this collection presents us with a distinct form of poetry, one that gives us a window into the process and poetic license that are unique to the songwriter.
