Aesthete
adrift on the couch
I spot a ship
my Chinese hat
a peasant’s handiwork
upon a ledge
the crown is a prow
breasting the waves
the brim a curve
curving seawards
Oh a ship
is a beautiful thing
even when at rest
dreaming of the open sea

I had the pleasure of seeing her show at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in SF. She, along with Roz Chast, are two of my favorite cartoonists in the New Yorker. Thanks for this great article-I learned more about her and will continue to follow her work.
