Includes poems that usher readers into an intimate cinema where Gertrude Stein kisses Patti Smith, where a bird steps through the screen and becomes a girl, where a girl moulds a cock and becomes a city, where a city striated with cinema becomes a glacier, and where a glacier sits in the red velvet seats and sees herself as a star.
