Birth Marks (Paperback)

A poet of the working-class and city streets, Jim Daniels's fourteenth poetry collection travels from Detroit to Ohio to Pittsburgh, from one post-industrial city to another, across jobs and generations. Daniels focuses on the urban landscape and its effects on its inhabitants as they struggle to establish community on streets hissing with distrust and random violence.

"Out here, silence scrapes its knuckles
in an attempt at prayer."

Jim Daniels is Thomas Stockham Baker Professor of English at Carnegie Melon. Poetry editor for the scholarly journal "Labor: A Working Class History of America," his awards include two National Endowment for the Arts Awards and the Brittingham Prize for Poetry.
