Polaroids (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781552450062)

Although firmly rooted in the real, Lillian Necakov's evocations of 'movie magic' prove irresistible in these forty poems and five collages. Ranging across dozens of films - from Wim Wender's Wings of Desire and Jim Jarmusch's Down By Law to Hitchcock's Rope and Hawks's To Have and Have Not -- Lillian Necakov's language, steeped in the comic of the banal, has absurdity for breakfast.
