The Moon as Understood by Skyscrapers

In The Moon as Understood by Skyscrapers a keen eye is at work. Sarrocco offers poems that--though composed from the epicenter of American culture--speak with the perspicuity of outside perspective. His lines shine light on contemporary hypocrisy and absurdity all the while dazzling readers with the beauty of the everyday the burnt / edges of things. Heartrending--often hilarious--these pages reveal a scar on a forearm as art a man blaring Lee Moses in a public bathroom as prophet. This is a timely collection from an important new voice in poetry. --Erika Brumett author of Bonehouse and Scrap Metal Sky
