Rubber Boot Books just re-published Lyn Lifshin's MARILYN MONROE: POEMS as an ebook.
Lifshin has written an astonishing portrait of Marilyn Monroe, inside the icon. In a remarkable tour de force, these poems imagine Norma Jean Baker’s inner thoughts about Hollywood, love, her work, her memories, her hopes, and the sorrows that eventually led to her overdose from sleeping pills in 1962. This book was originally published in 1994 by Quiet Lion Press, but has been out of print for about 15 years.
