Poetry. It's very rare to watch the birth of a new style. It's like watching through a new set of Proust's kaleidescopes. Mark Statman has been working for years on a vision of himself and parts of the city--concentrated and bare as any poetry. It's hard to compare it to anything else.--David Shapiro Sieve-like and shifty language with more directness and clarity than obfuscation and obtuseness.
