Tom Waits to Release “Seeds On Hard Ground” Poem

Ahead of the forthcoming release of Tom Waits and photographer/journalist Michael O’Brien’s Hard Ground, a collaborative photo and poetry book that hopes to raise awareness about homelessness, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s latest inductee will release a limited-edition chapbook of his poem “Seeds On Hard Ground” to benefit Northern California charities. While a rearranged, abridged version of the piece will appear in Hard Ground as well, the full poem will be available exclusively with the February 22 release via his record label, Anti.

You can pre-order a copy right now in Waits’ online store and read “Seeds On Hard Ground” here.
