Christopher Kennedy Fights to the Death
Christopher Kennedy. BOA poet.
BOA’s own poetry warrior Christopher Kennedy (Encouragement for a Man Falling to His Death) was just featured – and singled out for high praise – in a New Yorker article about Opium magazine’s tongue-in-cheek “Literary Death Match.” Christopher brought his A-game to a recent Death Match event at the Bowery Poetry Club as Meredith Blake notes in her article:
“My personal favorite was the extremely droll Kennedy, who shared from his collection of morbidly witty poems, Encouragement for a Man Falling to his Death. In one, a man coats his head in butter and flour, opens the oven door, and attempts to bake himself; in another, he tells a paramour, “I love you as if you were dead.”
