    That’s where William Faulkner was living when he wrote the screenplay for To Have and Have Not; that house was designed by Neutra; over there is a Schindler; that’s where Woody Guthrie lived, where Anais Nin died, and where Thelma Todd was murdered . . .Despite the fact that one of these staircases starred in an Oscar-winning short film—Laurel and Hardy’s The Music Box, from 1932—these civic treasures have been virtually unknown to most of the city’s residents and visitors.

    Predicated on the structure of a Book of Days, G-POINT ALMANAC is a long-poem sequence that fixes poems to specific days of the year and times of day. The third book of the g-point almanac tetralogy, passyunk lost follows Kevin Varrone through a wintry season in Philadelphia as he undergoes an existential search for spirituality in the declining post-industrial city. However, instead of writing a poem on each day of a year, the sequence references a variety of sources to capture Varrone's cumulative emotional and physical experiences to create a poem for each day of a year. The result is a flaneur's forlorn travelogue of a nostalgic world where the height of a building did not eclipse the brim of a man's hat.
