A humorous collection of poems covers a wide array of bizarre topics, from Mamie Eisenhower in love to the poet's own battle against amphetamines.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

With his brother, Joel, Ethan Coen has produced, written, and directed films such as Raising Arizona, Miller’s Crossing, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Big Lebowski, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? Their latest film is The Man Who Wasn’t There. Ethan’s first book, a collection of short stories, is Gates of Eden.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

ulously creative filmmaker who wrote and produced movies such as Fargo, Barton Fink, and Blood Simple, this is a provocative, revealing, and often hilarious collection of poems that offers insight into an artist who has always pushed the boundaries of his craft.

In his screenplays and short stories, Ethan Coen surprises and delights us with a rich brew of ideas, observations, and perceptions. In his first collection of poems he does much the same. The range of his poems is remarkable–funny, ribald, provocative, sometimes raw, and often touching and profound.

In these poems Coen writes of his childhood, his hopes and dreams, his disappointments, his career in Hollywood, his physically demanding love affair with Mamie Eisenhower, and his decade-long battle with amphetamines that produced some of the lengthier poems in the collection. You will chuckle, nodding with recognition as you turn the pages, perhaps even stopping occasionally to read a poem. Handsomely and durably
