All That Shines Under The Hollywood Sign (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781940213057)

Writer Iris Berry has always been fascinated by the reality of modern-day Hollywood and its glittery history as Tinseltown, and in her new collection of poetry, All That Shines Under the Hollywood Sign, the two worlds collide. She marvels about the way jazz glides "its way/down translucent highways/at one in the morning" and "ephemeral evenings/draped across Hollywood" and rhapsodizes about such long-lost local landmarks as the Tropicana Motel and the Garden of Allah. Accompanied by evocative L.A.-centric illustrations by Scott Aicher.
