In the original Dutch, moordener is murder and kill is creek. In this powerful collection of poetry, we follow these dark waters through a remarkable series of landscapes – real and imaginary, past and present, personal and political – joined in this journey by a ragtag mix of characters from pop culture, literature and the visual arts, among them James McNeill Whistler, Dorothy Kilgallen, Ronnie Spector, and Simon of Cyrene. Conjuring “nests of stinging terrors / sequestered in clenched fists,” these are poems for our precarious times, poems which believe we must look back to look forward – not for the sake of easy nostalgia, but to tell our stories truthfully: “manifest destiny, memoir, grand guignol.”
