Book Overview
The Love Sonnets Of A Hoodlum is a collection of poems written by American author Wallace Irwin. The book contains 50 sonnets, each one exploring the themes of love, romance, and passion from the perspective of a hoodlum, or a street thug. The sonnets are written in a unique style that blends the traditional structure of a sonnet with the language and slang of the streets. The book was first published in 1901 and was well-received for its innovative approach to poetry. The Love Sonnets Of A Hoodlum is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of poetry and urban culture.For when I pushed Brick Murphy to the rope Mame manned the ambulance and dragged him in, Massaged his lamps with fragrant drug store dope And coughed up loops of kindergarten chin; She sprang a come back, piped for the patrol, Then threw a glance that tommyhawked my soul.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
