Errata 2020: Poems of Philadelphia

This is Ernest Yatess thirteenth volume of poems and the tenth volume in an ongoing series based on his wanderings through streets of Philadelphia. Errata you may be the eleventh /or the thousandth or the millionth//muse sprung up in America?so Yates addresses his muse in the poem called Fever. And indeed it is Errata who leads the poet through the hundred neighborhoods of the city from Somerton in the far northeast to Eastwick near the airport from Chestnut Hill in the northwest to the navy yard in the south. Yatess interactions with these diverse neighborhoods highlight not only the life of the city itself but also the receptive spirit of the poems. In these meditations the poets Philadelphia becomes universally relevant?an authentic reflection of any city of every human habitat or condition.
