This book is an incredible trip through the minds of three poets watching "All About Eve," and discussing, dissecting, firebombing, and finally accepting the poetry world. It's a kaleidoscope of poetic styles, a mishmash of found materials along the lines of Benjamin's "Arcades Project" all in the service of old-Hollywood fandom and confessional poetry. Not to be missed.

Epic (along with the loathsome 'awesome') has become an overused word that has almost been rendered meaningless but it's (in its most classically accurate way) the only word I can use to describe this magnificent tome. Bravo/a to all involved with special kudos to one my favourite writers, Mr. David Trinidad.
