Beast is a Wolf with Brown Fire

by Barry Wallenstein


"The feeling here is 'urban'a certain removal or distancing combined with keen awareness, the sense of the impersonal wash of night coming over the lonely multitudes amid the surrealistic concrete. . . . The wry, lost energy of these pieces is the lyric voice of its generation." M. L. Rosenthal
