"Having grown up in South Philadelphia" the author writes, "I found
inspiration in what might be otherwise considered wretched places
filled with broken glass, rusted fences, decaying factories, and
trash-strewn neighborhoods. I remember, at 5 or 6 years old, being
fascinated with a dandelion that grew from a crevice in concrete.
There were few flowers or trees in South Philadelphia then.
Discovering hidden beauty in a coarse environment set the stage for
a lifetime of seeking it." In this collection of poetry by writer
Thomas Curley, the author uses the street where he lives as an
analogous metaphor for a changing and evolving 21st Century
American social landscape. Curley's street that looks like America
is our own street, and the poem is a work for all of us. It serves
as a snapshot of 21st Century America as a place in the midst of
change and redefinition of itself.
