Although firmly rooted in the real, Lillian Necakov's evocations of 'movie magic' prove irresistible in these forty poems and five collages. Ranging across dozens of films – from Wim Wender's
Wings of Desire
and Jim Jarmusch's
Down By Law
to Hitchcock's
Rope
and Hawks's
To Have and Have Not
-– Lillian Necakov's language, steeped in the comic of the banal, has absurdity for breakfast.
