(4) YA Visions in Poetry series. Illustrated by Murray Kimber. The romantic anti-hero in Noyes's rhythmic, haunting ballad of doomed love is re-fashioned as a sleek, motorcycle-riding gangster in this modern version of the poem, which the artist sets in art deco-era New York City. Rendered in sepia, gray, and black, the dramatic illustrations create a film noir atmosphere, but ultimately the geometric images feel mismatched to the text.
