Noir Blues presents prose and poems drawn from blues lyrics and the wider world of bad news. The prose describes old blues songs and a barrelhouse tragedy, and the poems are a variety of minimalist forms.Classic Noir SongsThirty-five blues songs from the 20s, 30s, and 40s inspired poems. The songs are briefly described and accompanied by a QR code to an early if not the first recording.Racism and CrimeLyrics of racism and crime are common among old blues songs, and here are some poems with those themes.Amended LinesHere are poems adapted from floating lines, lines common across at least a few old songs. Many of the poems are sarcastic because the original lines were silly, trite, or exaggerated.Still BlueHere are poems with a wide variety of blues themes, from songs and not.Longer TalesHere are four tales with blue shadows: Swapping scars, a depraved legacy, the last night of a barrelhouse, and the vengeance of two abused women.Respite From Noir BluesNot all blues is anguish and strife.
