Contemporary poetry that celebrates the streets of New York City.
Various poets explore neighborhoods, characters, emotions and sights of the five boroughs of New York City.

New York really is the world's city. Some poems in this collection travel a great distance; others stay put on one block or in a single neighborhood.

Put your sneakers on and head for the streets!

From You Are Here

Pell Street

Every man I've ever loved
I've brought to Pell Street
Its curves a river to my door

Huge golden almond cookies
Hot buns with red bean paste
Pork balls
Sticky rice

Afterwards
I guide him to the underground mall
And let him shop.

Emily West
