8th Avenue

Stefan Brechtcs poems have the unforced urbanity of high art. A flaneur of subtle penetrating insight, he remains ever open to the miraculous. His city--New York City--his poet's estate, is bathed in 'the morning star's ambiguous light, ' in which every mote scintillates, throwing off shards of sadness, beauty and hope. Michael Heller, author of Uncertain Poetries
