Description
Poetry. "A vast Sargasso sea of plastic fragments the size of a continent has been discovered in the Pacific Ocean. How do we go about living in what Evelyn Reilly defines as 'our infinite plasticity prosperity plentitude' and still have room for poetry? STYROFOAM might just show us how to do this. It's a wonderful, mad, challenging itinerary"--John Ashbery. Her previous books include HIATUS, which was a finalist for the Poetry Society of America's Norma Farber First Book Award, and the chapbook Fervent Remnants of Reflective Surfaces.
