City Full of Fireworks and Blues

<p>In <em>City Full of Fireworks & Blues</em> Stephen Cramer collects a series of lyric poems that explore both love and loss with a taut musicality that enters the reader's very musculature. Though the book often features the emotional or intellectual skirmishes that are common to all it is far more of a celebration than a dirge. Let us learn one of the poems offers the way cries inherit our breath the way 1000 facets of song can inhabit the mouth. </p>
