Negativity's Kiss is a noir poem, with characters and a story,
violence, cops, everything one likes about the crime novel,
minus its robotic, skippable detail. Plus language that rocks.
However the poet doesn't know how to be straight enough
to just do it-tone and genre-so this is pretty crooked. Satirical
and feral, written at the time of Hurricane Katrina.
The world of the poem is an international city that slides-everything
slides-between being like Paris and being like
New York. But maybe it's more like Gotham City, where
everyone knows everyone, and even a poet can be in the
media spotlight, if someone tries to kill her...
