Behind the façade of the Emperor's restless opulence stands this collection's insight; a new poetics has landed, after the wars - a copious Montreal Style of styles, where, from its royal mount, "the view is indeed magnificent." This marks the spot where a brilliant poet debuts - fully cognizant of the clash between the trashy new and the zany old, and of all the useless beauty in between.
