A three page poem that hinges upon a visit to the Getty Museum & the portrait bust of Costanza Bonuccelli by Gianlorenzo Bernini that the poet never gets to see. There is an amazing Cendrars-like song quality to the poem, to my ear at least, with historic shorthand digressions & lyric somersaults. A brilliant work. Also included are Berkson’s “Notes on the Poem”. Available from Blue Press.
