Those Godawful Streets of Man: a book of raw wire in the city

Poetry. This is an edgy, raw, harsh, gritty book of poems about the contemporary cityscape—its block buildings; its loose, naked, spitting live wires; its plugged-in populace. A place where Borderliners, leeches, zombies, and drains fight it out over a man and a woman locked in a death grip. Stephen Bett is an internationally known poet working in the tradition of Robert Creeley, Ed Dorn, Anselm Hollo, Tom Clark, and Rae Armantrout.
