5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent!,
By Mahogany Book Club "Mahogany Media Review" (Albany, N.Y.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Maria: Poems Produced and Directed by (Hardcover)
Kevin gives us a nice twist with Black Maria.The title is a slang for a police wagon or hearse. This collection is a blues based detective novel written in poems and is actually a screenplay.It takes a very talented writer to pull that off and Kevin has done it well. I read this novel/collection/play straight through. The story is captivating. What do you get when a sexy singer crosses paths with a drunken detective? A plot full of drama, the hunt, the chase and the catch and broken hearts.Bravo to Kevin for this refreshing mix. I've never read anything like it before. Lyrical Brilliance!

The Beauty of Noir...I can hear the rain falling right now,

This review is from: Black Maria: Poems Produced and Directed by (Hardcover)
This is an excellent collection of poems. I had the honor of hearing Mr. Young read excerpts on NPR the other morning. Oh, how I was instantly transported to that world of Noir. The rhythm, the imagery, the slang...it's wonderful. Anyone that's ever enjoyed Noir (think Orson Welles' Touch of Evil), you'll love this book.
