...clean, up-to-date and as comfortable as most cabs in most cities. We still have a few Georgian relics . . . but they are vanishing fast. Some, no doubt, have gone to California where, for the next few years, they may serve to perpetuate a legend (fog, a barrel-organ and a 1921 Unic taxi honking its way through the murk). The remainder are finding their way, rather quickly, to the junkyard...
...year-old Chilean named Roberto Sebastian Antonio Matta Echaurren, who calls himself simply "Matta." He lives with his wife and baby boy in a sunny apartment in Rome, paints only when he feels like it, and spends most of his leisure time grinding a rented hand organ on the streets.

To support his family, he has lectured on poetry, written movie scripts, scrounged, and read his or other poems from the lecture platform in a voice as booming and resourceful as a cathedral organ. But what he has written for himself is the envy of most other contemporary poets, a pleasure to anyone who can savor rich language.
