The theme of imitation--a facet of humanity which affects all actions and speech--forms the central focus of this imaginative collection of poems. The degree to which imitation is never just a simple act of copying but rather a source of play and performance is explored, as is imitation's ability to serve as a source of power for any subculture. Populated by real and imaginary interviews with people on the street, this compilation also echoes the words and works of other authors, with creative and thoughtful results.
