Poetry. In this innovative and arresting narrative poem, Meira Cook's walker, a young woman, is a character being written by an "old city poet, " who is in turn being written by another poet, for whom the young woman, "Ms. Em Cook, " has been an amanuensis. Always witty and often hilarious, feather-light in touch, the book is an entertaining exploration of serious issues: youth and age, life, death and rebirth, the (dis)connection of language and reality, tradition and the now. It is an assemblage of seven nesting sections, each of them a sort of chapbook speaking to each of the others and rounding out a long poem of great freshness.
