<DIV><B>A vibrant and insightful essay collection about life as a poet in Southern California&#160;</B><BR /><BR />Poetry and Hollywood may not seem compatible in anyone&rsquo;s book. But acclaimed poet, novelist, and critic Carol Muske-Dukes finds common ground for both in meditations on movie sets and metaphors, on the big screen and the luminous focus of a haiku.<BR /><BR /><I>I Married the Icepick Killer</I>&#160;offers the reader ways to reimagine the Imagination itself. Former California Poet Laureate Muske-Dukes explores Southern California&rsquo;s unexpected poetry, from Emily Dickinson on freeway billboards to poet-script doctors rewriting action-flick dialogue. Moving personal essays recount the story of Muske-Dukes&rsquo;s romance with her late husband, actor David Coleman Dukes, whom she met in Italy and relocated with in Los Angeles. Muske-Dukes sharpens her astute gaze as she addresses contradictions and convergences between belle lettres and the ever-surprising City of Angels.<BR /><BR />This ebook was originally published as&#160;<I>Married to the Icepick Killer</I>.<BR /></DIV>
