The Urban Poems

by David Hernandez

At long last Hernández has compiled the urban poems that were the responses to John Starrs' book, The Suburban Poems. Many of Hernández' signature poems are gathered here from previous books and other publications. Book designer and publisher Wayne Allen Jones made the design elements of this book operate as foils to similar elements of Starr's book. Rich with images from Chicago's Humboldt Park and its Puerto Rican heritage, this book in quintessential Chicago poetry, Chicago spirit, and pure Chicago per se.
