Guitarist and singer from the internationally successful rock band Triumph, Rik Emmett pens his first poetry collection.

Poetry from beloved lead guitarist of the multi-platinum record selling legendary band Triumph Reinvention is a largely autobiographical collection of poetry - a project that followed on the heels of Rik Emmett retiring from a touring musician’s and college educator’s life in early 2019. Inside all of the slashes that define him - singer/songwriter/guitarist/rock star/teacher/columnist - writing has always been his strongest avocation, and the poetic style of ‘Ultra Talk,’ in particular, offered a welcome spark for a songwriter’s freedom of expression.
