I really enjoyed reading this book. It seems to be a rough draft of the book also by Lillian Moore, Murals on Second Street. I especially loved how each poem describe another part of the city. Pigeons, trees, water puddles, and construction were all topics in the book. I thought adding pigeons in particular was unique. "I breathe the freshly laundered air of after-rain." Appeals to all senses and not just imagery. ( )
