Poetry. "Pretty much exactly like Tom Thumb's Blues, Mr. Clark goes on as ever letting his sensibility seep like rain through all the great American vernacular sites--film noir, baseball, the shore, dreams--and the result is a sequence of utterances that feel both timeless and inexhaustibly resonant"--Jonathan Lethem.
