New Yorkers have a special perspective about their city; The City: A New Yorker's New York is written for them.

This is the culmination of the author's 80 years in New York; riding the trolleys and the El in the '40s; seeing Union Square in its socialist heyday and noting the changes that give us the city today - the dog walkers, the Jewish deli, the fire plug as well as the icons the Met, Central Park, the Chrysler building, and the neighborhoods, each with their personalities.

Each poem is an anecdote: the elevator as a caste system, the stroller as a ship of state with absolute right of way and every New Yorker knows that parking comes right after food, clothing and shelter.

Certainly the Covid virus has altered life, but the intrinsic city survives. If you are a native New Yorker you'll recognize The City in the way only you can.
