Description
Poetry. California Interest. HOTEL ABC is poetry fieldwork done in the trenches of daily life.
The poems in HOTEL ABC function as ethnographic notes, exposing the fact that we are all under the thumb of circadian rhythm, struggling to negotiate our shared condition. Reporters and hotel guests leave and enter the book, revealing that the face of the beloved is also an icon, that some sounds can only be heard in certain places and that the origins of language are impossible to locate.
