Summary |
"Retrievals is a collection of criticism about underrecognized poets, unfairly discredited critics, artists obscured by more famous relations--basically, writers and artists that have fallen off the cultural map or never quite made it there in the first place. These essays, collected for the first time, span 10 years of Garrett Caples' writing as an arts journalist and editor at City Lights."--Publisher's web site. |
