Down on the Corner

by Kevin Fitzpatrick

Kevin FitzPatrick's poems, in the rhythms of everyday speech, tell of family and community. The urban settings in Down on the Corner are peopled with gas-station attendants, short-order cooks, construction workers, truck drivers, sheriffs, nurses, doctors, corporate executives, shoplifters, unemployed men and women, office workers, an ice cube manufacturer, and sundry others. In a diverse and often conflicting world, he finds love and the prospect of a regenerated humanity.
