"These poems are gritty and true, vulnerable and brave!"
-Margaret Randall

Poet Don McIver explores his impressions and experiences of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Far from a romanticized homage, Here is an unflinching poetic appreciation of his adopted home city. From back-of-the-house food service work, to navigating the perilous Duke City streets as a bicyclist, McIver's sharp eye and empathetic heart informs every line.

"The poems draw the reader to them in the same way that a city reveals itself to an observant person on a long walk. McIver's elegantly straight-forward observations of his neighborhood and its people - a profusion of the familiar and commonplace mixed with moments both rollicking and disturbingly eccentric - give us poems that present the life of his city not as data, but as realities bare to the bone, with no imposed romantic drama but rich with the tragic and comic fullness that is life in the urban wild of Albuquerque."
-V.B. Price
