"The laundromat is across the street from the narrator's apartment. The narrator, also nameless, is looking at it through his window but can't seem to get there to pick up his clothes. The narrative then detours as he tries to navigate a city that is fracturing around him at the same time as he confronts the failure of poetry and memory inside the labyrinthine architectures of language." "Written as a narrative essay that continuously dissects a never-finished conversation, and annotated with fragments of poems that were maybe never written about a childhood that maybe never took place, The Laundromat Essay is a spiralling poem about the pathology of failure and of forgetting, a poetic narrative of credible absurdity."--BOOK JACKET.
