Killer Verse: Poems of Murder and Mayhem Издательство: Random House, Inc. Жанр: Random House, Inc. Качество: Хорошее Страниц: 256 Формат: pdf, fb2, epub Just in time for Halloween — a spine-tingling collection of terrifically creepy poems about the deadly art of murder. In poems as various as the colorful melodramas of old Scottish ballads and the hard-boiled poems of twentieth-century noir, Killer Verse rounds up the most colorful villains and victims — from Cain and Abel and Bluebeard to Lizzie Borden, Jack the Ripper, and Mafia hit men — ever to be immortalized in verse. Browning, Hardy, Auden, Mark Doty, Thom Gunn, Simon Armitage, and Stevie Smith are only a few of the wide range of poets, old and new, whose comic, chilling, and occasionally profound poetic musings on murder are gathered together in this uniquely — irresistibly — heart-stopping collection.
