In Kara Candito's prize-winning debut collection a ""garish/human theatre"" comes to life against richly textured geographic and psychic landscapes. These poems are high-speed meditations on a world where Walter Benjamin meets the ""glitzy chain-link of Chanel scarves"" and Puccini's Tosca meets the din of the Times Square subway station.
