Godfrey, John: City of Corners [used hardcover]

used limited edition hardcover, Wave Books

Publication Date: August 1, 2008

“While others are busy catching their own reflection in the storefront of poetry, Godfrey goes to work on the damage and squalor of the overlooked. His genius rings true.”—Peter Gizzi

The quintessential city poet, John Godfrey is New York, and these poems gaze unflinchingly into the city’s dark heart. Godfrey’s poems are populated by the faces and gestures of New York’s human and inhuman population.
