A poem on the life and work of Barney Rosett, American entrepreneur and
former owner of the publishing house Grove Press (which introduced
Americans to writers such as Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, Eugène Ionesco, and
Harold Pinter) his private writings, works that influenced him, works he
published and his visual archive of photographs, video and film footage. These
fragments form a work of media that is beyond the traditional
biography, an attempt to capture the atmosphere and soul of his life.
