Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
'Throughout the many poems about New Haven, his home, Greene contrasts the ordinary or sinister life of the city with the rarefied atmosphere of the university, to telling effect. . . His poetry is suffused with what used to be called 'social conscience.' Although Wallace Stevens seems to be his master, I am reminded of the poems of James Wright, but without a trace of sentimentality. And there is something about Greene's tone of voice -- almost casual, yet informed by the closest kind of observation. This is lovely writing, precise observation, tender yet realistic. I admire these poems and recommend them.' -- from the Foreword



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - beautiful, graceful poetry about life in a city
Jeffrey Greene's images, many of New Haven, Connecticut, are haunting. He shows you a new way of seeing scenes we've often only glimpsed on the evening news.
