Swoon Noir

Overview

Poetry.

The book by prolific L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poet Bruce Andrews, SWOON NOIR never fails to shake up linguistic expectations, without ridding itself of Andrews' characteristically wide ranging diction and attention to sound, with lines like "Ventriloquism helluva Cinderella" and "Rapt literalist proxy poppers." Andrews has published several dozen books of poetry and performance scores. He has taught Political Science at Fordham University since 1975.

Author Biography
