On Gannon Street - Paperback

by Mary Ann Larkin (Author)

Exquisitely made, lyrical, yet unpretentious, Mary Ann Larkin's Gannon Street evokes the complexities of a black neighborhood and its relationship with a sole white resident, with all the poignance of a novel, but with a gifted poet's miraculous economy. We know these characters, their dreams, frustrations, acts of ordinary kindness, in all four dimensions, but above it all there's a visionary fifth dimension hovering, showing a wisdom and imagination of the highest order, making Gannon Street a place not to be missed in anyone's tour of America. Alan Feldman, author of Immortality
