*The Chandler Apartments

The Chandler Apartments -Owen Hill
In the downstairs of Moe’s books I showed Owen that I was buying his book and he told me that he hoped it would be a quick fun read and it was. It wasn’t “just pulp” that Raymond Chandler wrote and here the crown prince of chiaroscuro verse’s artistic bent is more expressly, obviously espoused in a poet/bookmonger’s book about poetry and books. Twas a joy to read about the un-lionized, moonlight poetry world of Berkeley, whose landmarks I am vaguely familiar with.
