In Jessica Mookherjee’s lively selection, we find poems that explore the hectic rhythms of day-to-day life in a city, as well as the rather more mysterious character of a city at night – a place where streetlights and “drunken rooftops” create a dreamscape in which anything might happen. Ever present is the sense that a city never stops: \"All afternoon labouring geese fly over the city. Cars hoot, sirens fugue. Beneath bank towers, a statue shifts. A man, blue clown, blows two-note whistles for a living.” from ‘Commerce, Madrid, 2012’ by Carola Luther This mini-anthology transports us to cities real and imagined in a delightful kaleidoscope that shimmers and shifts at each rereading. Poems by Suzannah Evans, Andrew Fusek-Peters, Kapka Kassabova, Carola Luther, John McCullough, Jessica Mookherjee, Meryl Pugh, Roger Robinson, James Tate and Sara Teasdale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nationwide Book Distributors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891692699684,"sku":"B9781913627379","price":15.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2253\/5460\/files\/9781913627379_9617e890-15c9-4de6-8c20-397f29ced2b3.jpg?v=1781213702","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwonder.co.nz\/products\/ten-poems-about-cities","provider":"Whimsy \u0026 Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
