Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. No one has been so rinsed in the public recitation of verse as Ed Friedman, in his capacity as head of the St. Mark's Poetry Project for a number of years. he has risen about that rinse to present in his 9th collection, Drive Through the blue cylinders, some polished, intersting and exemplary works that illuminate well his vision of the world. I like its honest and peering behind the apparent mania of the modern, such as in poems like 'Osolate Bourgeoisie, ' and in the many poems born from his careful mindfulness during travels... you can count on Ed Friendman's book to take you on a fine ride--Ed Sanders
