Urbanities

Sensuous, scandalous, satirical, tender, Brooke Clark's unique debut collection is cynical and entertaining, replete with rich rhythms and playful rhymes. Urbanities is an exhilarating poetic journey across time, and along the way we meet characters -- terrible poets, rip-off novelists, attention-seekers all -- portraits of people struggling to find their place, proof that not much has changed in the cutthroat literary world from then to now.
