Handwritten Dylan lyric draft reportedly discovered
1Mikan reports that a torn working draft page of Bob Dylan's "I'm Not There" was discovered inside a first-edition paperback of Allen Ginsberg's "Ankor Wat." The page is described as a rare handwritten lyric draft tied to Dylan's prolific 1967 New York period, when he wrote and recorded extensively with The Band. The report says the manuscript is expected to draw substantial auction interest.
Why it matters
If authenticated, the draft would add a rare primary artifact to the record of Dylan's creative process and collectible lyric market.
