T
he title -
Dying:(with no apologies to Martha Stewart)
- of horror author Michael Arnzen's short collection of verses says it all. Each brief poem contains Martha Stewart-like tips for killing, cleaning up after murder, or disposing of the evidence. Most of the poems end with a sick twist that make the satire
laugh-out-loud
funny.
M
y favorite is #9, a delicious little four-line poem, which passes on advice given to the poet by his grandmother for using dead brains.
Dying:(with no apologies to Martha Stewart)
is a quick
must read
for fans of dark comedy (whether they love or despise poetry). But beware: these verses are truly sick – and truly addictive.
