Poet and novelist Nicholas Christopher has chosen 115 poems from sixty poets, representing more than twenty cities. These are not just poems \"about\" cities, or with the city as subject; they filter and radiate the diversity and vitality of today's cities, from the electric night of New York to the sun-blanked sprawl of Los Angeles, from the factories of Pittsburgh to the waterfront of New Orleans. A kinetic mix of new voices and established writers, \"Walk on the Wild Side\" presents the timeless themes of poetry through the prism of our unique urban experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Christopher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Touchstone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.62h x 6.16w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780020427254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/1994 pg. 1418\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNicholas Christoper is the author of seven novels, eight books of poetry, a study of film noir and the American city, and he has edited two poetry anthologies.
