The City, Our City

A William Carlos William Award Finalist for 2012
A "Kansas City Star "Top Book of 2012
A "Library Journal" Top Winter Poetry Pick
A series of semi-mythologized, symbolic narratives interspersed with dramatic monologues, the poems collected in "The City, Our City" showcase the voice of a young poet striking out, dramatically, emphatically, to stake his claim on "the City." It is an unnamed, crowded place where the human questions and observations found in almost any city--past, present, and future--ring out with urgency. These poems--in turn elegiac, celebratory, haunting, grave, and joyful--give hum to our modern experience, to those caught up in the City's immensity, and announce the arrival of a major new contemporary poet.
