Synopsis
Hannah Weiner's Page is the unpublished work of the notorious, clairvoyant poet who died in New York 1997. Completed in 1990, Page uses Weiner's combination of family, TV cartoon, and high-art diction to weave a unique view of the individual interacting with society. The reader gets the sense that the poet is just barely hanging on, tenaciously, tenuously, and touchingly. Hannah has the ability to make you sympathetic and needy, exposing your humanity to you in every phrase.
