Killer Verse: Poems of Murder and Mayhem is a spine-tingling collection of terrifically creepy poems about the deadly art of murder.The villains and victims who populate these pages range from Cain and Abel and Bluebeard and his wives to Lizzie Borden, Jack the Ripper, and Mafia hit men. The literary forms they inhabit are just as varied, from the colorful melodramas of old Scottish ballads to the hard-boiled poetry of twentieth-century noir, from lighthearted comic riffs to profound poetic musings on murder. Robert Browning, Thomas Hardy, W. H. Auden, Stevie Smith, Mark Doty, Frank Bidart, Toi Derricotte, Lynn Emanuel, and Cornelius Eady are only a few of the many poets, old and new, whose work is captured in this heart-stopping—and criminally entertaining—collection.

The book came in excellent time and in good condition as offered.
I would purchase again from this party.. Izenman starts with some historical perspective going back to work on least squares by Gauss, Laplace and Legendre where the determination of planetary orbits were modeled circa 1800 and the work of Galton on heredity and regression to the mean in the 1880s and 90s. then I believe a seller deserves a good review. This is a very conceptual book that literally - COVERS THE BASICS. They
include many of his co-workers, and famous peers. This is a great tool for someone who wants to learn the basics of astrology. I enjoyed that I got to see that the life of a Rater wasn't all that Ruby thought it was. I enjoyed this warm and ultimately satisfying tale of a wise and intelligent heart in a very young woman, with guts beyond her years. Recommended for any one who likes anything about bounty hunters, guns, muscle cars and manga.. I undestand that his viewpoint was not based
