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 Â“the City.â€ It is an unnamed, crowded place where the human questions and observations found in almost any cityÂ—past, present, and futureÂ—ring out with urgency. These poemsÂ—in turn elegiac, celebratory, haunting, grave, and joyfulÂ—give hum to our modern experience, to those caught up in the Cityâ€™s immensity, and announce the arrival of a major new contemporary poet.
