"Composed "under the shadow" of the World Trade Center, and not in its ashes, Cosmos and Damian is a far-reaching, dazzling investigation into the daily life of the WTC, where the intersections and findings are so rich and complex that no single genre can contain it.  Part poem, part anthropological/architectural study, part socio-historical document, part memoir, Michalski walks us through the everyday life of Corporate America.  Started in 1994 and stopped at the moment of the bombing, Cosmos and Damian defines a nerve center of western culture-the metropolis before the necropolis, as it were-by recording the minutia of office detail and the language of its workers."  Robert Fitterman
