In this annular and focused suite of poems, the flaneur's gaze is provoked by-and attuned to-its caustic surroundings: a therapist comparing their client to a painting; a subject reflecting on numerous imagined projections; our speaker walking around and around it all (as if in an exhibition hall), cataloguing how humanity's absurdity shifts and blooms based on the eye's moods. With humor and heart, and with an acerbically piercing tone, Corso claims the world 'is alive and well. If you care / to look.' We just have to be willing to 'submit to the image // with courage.'"-- [My therapist compares me to a style of painting] -- Art & the rat -- Pastoral -- The purple bottle -- Theory on a mirror -- Many long returns.
