Description
A collection of poems for one of Hollywood's great actors, best known for his gangster films of the 1930s, Nice Day for Murder takes a Tommy gun to contemporary notions of poetry and feminism. Lines begin to blur between fiction and reality as the narrative confuses Cagney's street-tough movie persona with his gentle off-screen demeanour.
