Description
This book "is a challenge, confronting realities that frame an America often made invisible. Within these poems, we see the city as distant lover, we hear the sound that comes from all / the hurt & want that leads a man to turn his back to the world. We see that and we see each reason why we return to what pains us"--Tags

Masterful. Every time I read "For The City That Nearly Broke Me" it cut a little deeper.
