About a city a " New York, an island, an emblem of the Future, magnificent, provisional, seamy, and in 1939 about to emerge as the defining twentieth-century cosmopolis, the capital of the world. And about a world at a point of change a " about 1939, and about our own Age of Anxiety, about the aftermath of September 11, when many American newspapers reprinted Audena (TM)s poem in its entirety on their editorial pages. |
