If a mutant offspring of Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith had written fortune cookies, the result would be Verse Noir. The original edition, published in 2010, was a minimalist masterpiece. Its 77 brief poems--the shortest was only three words long--delivered concentrated doses of sex, violence, and existential angst. This expanded edition doubles the size of the original collection, adding 76 new poems to the mix. If you are a fan of noir but not of poetry, Verse Noir will make you a fan of noir poetry. This is noir in its purest, distilled form.
