Jim Nisbet was an internationally known novelist, essayist, and poet whose groundbreaking noir fiction has cult followings in the U.S. and abroad. The poems collected here were written and distributed to his email list during the Covid- 19 pandemic. Like much of Nisbet's work, these poems are written in diction both stark and elevated, alternately tender, fierce, sweet, frightening - and always keenly aware of human frailty in the face of the unknown. Informed both by classical tradition and the immediate circumstances of the pandemic, these poems deal in matters political, spiritual, and cultural - but ultimately take the shape of an increasingly personal encounter with the phantasms of the pandemic. Taken together, The Plague Ditties form a poetic diary of uncommon artistic, historic, and metaphysical resonance.

Nisbet, Jim: - "Novelist and poet Jim Nisbet was a seminal figure in the West Coast Noir Renaissance. His early novels were published with the original Black Lizard Press, gaining Nisbet an international reputation as a fiercely unique voice whose work defied easy classification. He went on to publish more than a dozen novels, widely translated, with editions in France (by Rivages, under legendary editor François Guérif), Germany, Italy, and more. The author of seven collections of poetry, including a translation of Baudelaire, he published essays and other work in an eclectic mix of international journals and magazines. Nisbet grew up in North Carolina. After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill, he headed out to San Francisco, where he lived for many years, immersed simultaneously in the intellectual life - in his career as a working writer - and his daily work as a cabinetmaker and tradesman. The Plague Ditties was his last book, written during the worldwide pandemic, and completed shortly before his death in 2022."
