Day for Night

"Day for Night is an inventory of the metropolis - a street atlas, a field guide, a calendar of days and nights passed in New York City. The poet sees the composition of sundown against the Empire State Building, paper valentines in a Chelsea diner window, the big blue whale in the Museum of Natural History. A love song to the city, these poems are at once nostalgic and sharply aware of the present and its inevitable passing."--BOOK JACKET.
