A Blessing of the Hounds by Michael Madsen
This is the third collection of poetry by actor Michael Madsen (Possibly best known as Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs). Typically portraying tough guys and gangsters in film and television, Madsen's poetry exposes his emotional and philosophical depth as he explores existential dilemmas and familial connections in verse that is stark and often brief, but strikingly poignant in the concrete imagery used to capture moments of quiet reflection.

Some of my favorite poems from those included in this show more collection:

Al Pollo Loco
Dementia
Princeville

The Sender by Michael Madsen
2026 movie #51. 1998. TV movie which is hard to describe. A young girl has an alien "sender" gene, enabling her to "send" things, and I don't mean by Fed-Ex. The government and the aliens want her leading to many car chases and explosions. Somehow Vaughn and Cannon were in this.
