Pre-War Doorman - Margaret Ryan - Bog

This beautiful chapbook of 17 poems, many in print for the first time, explores Ryan's love affair with New York City. From her home on the Upper West Side, Ryan captures the feel of the shops and buildings in her neighborhood and connects them to the public art of the city at large. The parks, statuary, hospitals, and playgrounds of both young and old burst alive from the pages of this tightly-wrought and beautifully-made volume.
