\"\"<\/a>Publicist’s description:<\/p>\n

Ethan Coen\u2019s screenplays have surprised and delighted international audiences with their hilarious vision and bizarrely profound understanding of human nature. With his brother, Joel, Coen has written, directed, and produced some of the most original and beloved movies in the history of cinema, including<\/em> Raising Arizona; Miller\u2019s Crossing; Barton Fink; The Hudsucker Proxy; Fargo; The Big Lebowski; O Brother, Where Art Thou?; Intolerable Cruelty; an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy\u2019s <\/em>No Country for Old Men; Burn After Reading; and\u2014most recently\u2014<\/em>True Grit, which was nominated for ten Academy Awards. Coen has also written collections of critically acclaimed plays (<\/em>Almost an Evening), short stories (<\/em>Gates of Eden), and poetry (<\/em>The Drunken Driver Has the Right of Way), all presented in his distinctly humorous and oddly brilliant literary voice.<\/em><\/p>\n

Coen\u2019s eccentric genius is revealed again in <\/strong><\/em>THE DAY THE WORLD ENDS <\/strong>(Broadway Paperbacks Original, on sale April 3, 2012)<\/strong>,<\/em> a collection of poems that offers humor and provides insight into an artist who has always pushed the boundaries of his craft. THE DAY THE WORLD ENDS <\/strong> is<\/em> a remarkable range of poems that are as funny, ribald, provocative, raw, and often touching as the brilliant films that have made the Coen brothers cult legends.<\/em><\/p>\n

Short, accessible, and nearly the same price as a movie ticket, this new poetry collection is a perfect treat for Coen\u2019s legions of fans.<\/em><\/p>\n
