Styrofoam

Poetry. A vast Sargasso sea of plastic fragments the size of a continent has been discovered in the Pacific Ocean.

It's a wonderful, mad, challenging itinerary--John Ashbery. Her previous books include HIATUS, which was a finalist for the Poetry Society of America's Norma Farber First Book Award, and the chapbook Fervent Remnants of Reflective Surfaces.
