Death of the Guitar is a book of original compositions by author and storyteller, Dave Bricker. Poems about garden slugs and sea cucumbers and a selection of informal sketches salvaged from high school notes accompany tales of nautical adventure, thoughts on enlightenment, musings on rainy days, portraits of the spirit of flamenco music, an irreverent Christmas story, expositions on the nature of storytelling, and unconventional words of encouragement.  Swim with whales, sail across the Atlantic in a wooden boat, enjoy a feast under the stars on a deserted beach, take a ride on a rusty freighter, explore the depths of gratitude, get hit by a meteorite, and witness the violent death of a beloved guitar in this collection of witty, colorful, and richly experiential prose and poetry.
