Stanford, bicycle, night: the beautiful wrecks of the future fly past my head: is it because they're consciously built as monuments that I can only see them as wrecks?
The Roof Rat Review
- Imre Kertész. The Pathseeker. Melville House, 2008 (A nyomkereső (Pathseeker), 1977). The mad-detective narrative works so well because he's obviously mad and obviously right.
- Anzhelina Polonskaya, Andrew Wachtel (trans). Paul Klee's Boat. Zephyr Press, 2012. Unusually translatable Russian verse: all that elegy, all that snow.
- James Cahill. Scholar Painters Of Japan: The Nanga School. Arno Press, 1976 (Scholar Painters of Japan: The Nanga School (The Asia Society collection), 1976). The old reproductions especially favor Kuwayama Gyokushū.
- Natasha Trethewey (editor), David Lehman (series editor). Best American Poetry 2017. Scribner, 2017. Poetry sure did go to college.
