"Walk on the Wild Side," the first anthology to plumb the maze of
American urban life, gives us the city in all its forms: ethnic,
economic, religious, political, sexual, intellectual. Poet and
novelist Nicholas Christopher has chosen 115 poems from sixty
poets, representing more than twenty cities. These are not just
poems "about" cities, or with the city as subject; they filter and
radiate the diversity and vitality of today's cities, from the
electric night of New York to the sun-blanked sprawl of Los
Angeles, from the factories of Pittsburgh to the waterfront of New
Orleans. A kinetic mix of new voices and established writers, "Walk
on the Wild Side" presents the timeless themes of poetry through
the prism of our unique urban experience.
