Poetry. If there were an award for chapbook of the year it would surely
be given to BY MYSELF: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. In the spirit of Goethe's
comment, "One is never satisfied with the portrait of a person one
knows," two celebrated poets, D.A. Powell and David Trinidad, have
collaborated to create a perfect portrait of an unknown star in 300
lines by taking one sentence from each of 300 celebrity autobiographies.
The result is poignant, poetic, and hilarious--a perfect and
imperishable performance.
