Polaroids - Paperback

by Lillian Necakov (Author)

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.
