Description

Adam Gordon is just a amazing, if extremely unreliable, small American poet on the prestigious fellowship in Madrid, battling to determine his perception of home and his connection to art. What's real when our encounters are mediated by technology, language, medicine, and the disciplines? Is poetry an important talent, or simply a display for that audience's forecasts? In the place of following a dictates of his fellowship, Adam’s “research” becomes a meditation on the chance of the real in the disciplines and beyond: are his interactions with the folks he meets in Italy as deceptive as he worries his verses are?
