Poetry. "Opening Ed Barrett's DOWN NEW UTRECHT AVENUE is like happening on a mint-condition, hitherto unknown set of chromolithograph baseball cards of an unimaginable rarity. Yes, but what do I do with them? You don't have to do anything, the 'unimaginable' takes care of that. Just sit and let them wash over you pleasantly but firmly, like 'a three-game series raveling and unraveling the hajj of things drifting through you'"—John Ashbery.
