The poems in Perfume & Cigarettes by Madeline Levy come at you like Tom Waits driving a 1957 Cadillac onto the sleek asphalt of night, with only the red glow of taillights sending kisses on the road to everywhere. These poems take us places, somewhere between the proper and the profane, the dive bars and the five-star restaurants. These are poems with wicked grins and sharp edges that will leave a "tiny-sized cut in the back of your heart," and make us believe that "apple pie & cyanide" are a good idea. Madeline Levy is a new and true voice in American poetry who leaves cigarette burns on our crooked wings, yet we still offer to buy her a new pack.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Madeline Levy is a Jersey belle just trying to make it in the Big Easy. She's been referred to as a mix between a "manic, pixie dream girl" and a "happy, harpy nap lady." She can be found reading her poetry in front of half lit New Orleans folks, in the back of dimly-lit barrooms where jukeboxes play loud enough to make a soundtrack for her set. Perfume & Cigarettes is her first collection of poetry.
