Ode to the Dylan Center


The $10 million Dylan Center, located in downtown Tulsa, is the museum-like space founded to display items from the Bob Dylan Archive which was acquired in 2016 for around $20 million. – adapted from Ben Sisario, “The $10 Million Bob Dylan Center Opens Up His Songwriting Secrets,” NYTimes.com (accessed 24 May 2022)


Sing, my Muse, in festal measures

Of this home for Dylan’s treasures!

Sing of temple doors which guard

The relics of a maverick bard!


A site which cost ten million dollars

Beckoning his fans and scholars,

Shielding in its bright pavilion

Archives bought for twenty million.


A shrine in Tulsa to promote a

Simple boy from Minnesota.
