Sam Richards and Joan Retallack have a similar perspective on their shared subject, John Cage. Richards, according to the book jacket of John Cage As ..., is a "composer, pianist, writer, and broadcaster with a special interest in twentieth-century music." Joan Retallack is an accomplished poet who also occasionally writes criticism, much of which has featured the work of Cage. Both are creative artists who clearly find an affinity between Cage's work and their own, and this affinity underlies the two books under review here, though to different degrees.
