SKYLINE IS THE BY-LINEZZ is a skyline rendered in language—New York’s silhouette rebuilt from slogans, gossip, pronouncements, banalities, and song-lines that keep the city awake. Holmqvist treats text like architecture: repetition as scaffolding, cadence as elevation, a public voice stacked into a single long fold. Not a postcard and not a poem “about” a place—more like a portable panorama where the city becomes its own by-line, and the by-line becomes the city.
