“Filled with direct diction and declarative sentences, Martone’s poem offers a wonderful match-up of form and content, the scientific precision of a numerical list of sixty things fits the extraordinary attention to detail in describing the watches journey from one one woman wrist to the other’s.”

An impressively designed (if slow-loading) site, MBN uses an aereal map of [...]
