Poetry. Photographs by Charlee Brodsky. "Jim Daniels's poems in conversation with Charlee Brodsky's photographs make for a remarkable collective work.... The poems mirror the pictures' cool balance. Sardonic, smart, wily, tough, they are stories for each image...what the eye of the poet surmises from what the eye of the camera sets down."—Alan Trachtenberg
