Windows: Navigating City Life: Poems & Prose - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A.L. Sutton is a Vietnam veteran who lives in north Long Beach and writes because he must. Sutton's nephew, a South Central Los Angeles Harvard grad, Mark Holman writes, "My uncle and I first considered working together on Windows when I had just returned from living in Italy in 1994. He wanted me to edit some poems he had written. I told him that the poems could stand on their own, but that they could also be woven into a story of recollections as a protagonist took a bus ride through Los Angeles. Needless to say, I was that protagonist, and I coined a lot of the prose as I logged hundreds of miles of bus and light rail trips through metropolitan Los Angeles. I was inspired to link the poetry and prose as I remembered a Middle Ages author named Boethius, whom I studied when I was at Harvard. We studied The Consolation of Philosophy, a Menippean Satire that regularly alternated prose and verse."
