This book takes the dramas and complexities of sophisticated living and turns them into sheer delight. It is café society at its most enchanting. However, do not let the apparent lightness of the subject matter fool you. The sum of all that lightness is greater than the individual parts. Poems include From a Downtown Skyscraper, The Einstein Blues, A Tippler s Litany, and The Insatiable Sex. The Art Deco drawings that accompany the poems are equally marvelous.
God is some one you can see,
Silken feminity,
Exquisite in flesh and bone
Warmer than a god of stone.
--Wilfred J. Funk
