Glitter City

Like glitter-tiny, precision-cut, reflective particles-the poems in Glitter City shine by reflection with flashes of light. Narrative, cinematic, and at times trance-like, the poems trace their way back in time. From Fulton Street, Brooklyn to Detroit's Woodward Avenue, over city scaffolds and rural fields, across graveyards and weedy highways, Emanuel's debut collection grieves and loves, glittering fiercely.
