When a City Leans Against the Sky - Softcover
This collection of poems celebrates the many "lives" of a city. Allan De Fina's insightful observations capture the ambience and diversity of a city's sights, sounds, and cultural mixes. The everyday becomes extraordinary through momentary pauses, showing that life in the city can be an experience, not just an existence. Illustrator Ken Condon captures these glimpses through simple yet expressive black-and-white drawings.
