This collection of poetry begins with the poet's inaugural
address as Laureate of San Francisco, a sparkling essay that shows
how poetry can please and empower. Strong, introspective and
caring, major's poems capture the challenge and joy of being an
artist, as they survey the political and social landscapes of one
of America's favorite cities.
"A visionary of hope, with a heart big enough to embrace every
neighborhood, street and alley in this magical and -poetical city.
Here is a poet who shoots straight as Cupid's arrow. Zing Right to
the heart."--Alejandro Murguia
