Urban Mythology

(Taken from Sunday)

...And Sunday,
mythical nurturer,
broadly casts
redemption, revolution,
Sowing weed seed,
Wildflowers,
in broken glass
gangways,
and fried fish restaurants.

Eric Keizer, in his first poetry chapbook Urban Mythologies, documents the places in, and the people of, Chicago who have made lasting impressions on his life. He celebrates the commonalities all Chicagoans share, while tying Classics to modern life in the urban landscape, as viewed through his unique perspective.
