The Key to the City brings together work that has long been admired
by readers of literary magazines and quarterlies. The collection
opens with "The Ruins," a group of poems set in poor neighborhoods
in New York City-some so cut off from midtown that they seem part
of another continent or another age. The people in these poems are
schoolgirls, a cleaning lady in the laundromat, derelicts, a
prostitute stabbed in the street. Their interwoven voices
contribute to a complex, grave vision of remote causes and
immediate suffering in the city. The poems of the second section
explore a broad range of experience: pregnancy and nursing, inward
solitude, the textures of Renaissance painting and American
landscapes.
