What was what like? One's life? The city from which one fled? The city to which one did so? The last century? The one before that? The weaving in and out of traffic? Love? Candlelight from a curtained window or the dull, digital glow of a smart phone from the balcony below? Here, those old utopic dreams and social experiments collide with the age of excess information, leaving behind broken bits of experience: precise, exacting, aphoristic, arresting - the emotional residue of just how one deals with one's tiny-cog-in-a-big-machine conundrum allowed to curdle into language as concerned with form and structure, with feats of architecture and engineering, as it is with real human relationships. This book is a marvel.\"—Noah Eli Gordon\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31337273098263,"sku":"9781848613881","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/content_78bfdd80-4cf5-43b3-8ab3-1d75a3235739.jpg?v=1586745958","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/model-city-by-donna-stonecipher","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
