Blood On The Screen, Blood On The Page

On the surface 'Blood On The Screen, Blood On The Page' examines the role of violence in cinema , as well as American society, and how it influenced the writing of outlaw poet Todd Moore. On a deeper level, through poetry and essay, the book examines the role the villain plays in American society and pop culture. Cinematic violence and the outlaw portrayed as "anti-hero" both entertain and horrify us at the same time.

Finally, 'Blood On The Screen, Blood On The Page' takes a hard look at the state of small press poetry and asks this question: Is it still impactful or has it lost its edge? As Moore often said, the blood of poetry demands honesty and emotion.
