With Charles Olson, it always comes back to the persistence of place. Be aware that if you decide to enter Olson's world, you may never look at the one you inhabit in the same way. POLIS may not improve the way you look, but maybe, just maybe, you'll see better. Do you really know what you see when you look out from the eyes in your head? Can a drop of sea water contain an ocean within it? And is the universal only the local without walls? Travel with John Malkovich on a poetic romp that leads from your door to the edge of the universe. Find out for yourself why the best and brightest of the time beat a well worn path to this giant's cold water shack above the tide in the stalwart and serene fishing port of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Of course, if you'd rather have what you're used to, you should probably return this item to the shelf now. But if you want to see the world with fresh eyes, to behold the extraordinary possibilities that exist in the seemingly ordinary landscapes of your daily life, then you're ready for POLIS IS THIS.
