In Kara CanditoOCOs prize-winning debut collection a OC garish/human theatreOCO comes to life against richly textured geographic and psychic landscapes. These poems are high-speed meditations on a world where Walter Benjamin meets the OC glitzy chain-link of Chanel scarvesOCO and PucciniOCOs Tosca meets the din of the Times Square subway station. Ferociously witty and intensely lyrical, Taste of Cherry speaks to us in a language that is simultaneously private and public, sensual and cerebral."
