Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through Edelweiss.
A narrative poem from 1928 describing a night among louche theater people. It was widely banned but still a big success. It's powerful not just for being daring but also wonderfully written, and I say this as someone who doesn't like poetry much. I can't stop thinking about the ending. Art Spiegelman did expressive illustrations for this 1994 version in a woodcut style reminiscent of Lynd Ward.

I enjoyed it. I read it out loud to get the cadence and rhythm of the language. It gets more intense at the end. It is a story of jealousy and temptation, opportunities taken and opportunities missed. I found it interesting to see how the fast crowd lived and partied written by someone who was alive then. Different but a keeper.
