New York

Lucas Hunt's New York is the third book out of a five-book collection of autobiographical, place poems that sublimely detail the city from the perspective of a man charging in with wide eyes from a childhood on a pig farm in Iowa, and formative, literary years in South Hampton. The glamour and the ordinary interchange effortlessly in New York, revealing a newly vibrant city as vast with possibility as a blank page ripe for Mr. Hunt's poetry. With lyricism and an irrepressible beat, New York defines a spectrum of urban experience with a deft hand and simultaneous voices of energy and solace.
