Tony Whedon's new book The Hatcheck Girl vividly describes border crossings where language, culture and states of consciousness collide. In these richly layered poems about jazz most of the musicians we meet are sidemen: few are famous, most are notorious. They're united, as he says in his opening poem "The Tradition of the New, " by their devotion to the music and by their appetite for a note, a phrase to "make it new . . . over and over." Wh...

In testing memory's capacity for multiple truths, and in discovering its inherent limitations, this collection grapples with the simultan...
