Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This is a New York City love story. Juneau's poetry is as fierce and gritty as city life. A compelling and insightful book, it guides the reader through life experienced within vibrant and ceaseless energy. Each heartfelt poem unspools with reckless yearning as it reaches for the sublime. Word on the Street: Night of the Manhattans reads like a series of unfiltered texts sent in the middle of the night to a city that isn't boyfriend material: its cheap food is expensive, its subways are unreliable, and it never shuts up. But it's also wildly attractive and promises reckless good times, in basement dive bars, warehouse-district jazz clubs, and 24-hour diners. Juneau knows that a price will be paid in the morning and what it means to want salvation while flirting with self-destruction, and her streetwise poems, composed in the heat of such moments, move fluidly between the confessional and the performative, pulsing with the immediacy of a life lived on a knife's edge.>With an inventive and fearless voice, Night of the Manhattans is a book of poems as fierce and gritty as the city itself. These poems are electric, alive, and hypnotic. As the poems wander, dizzy, nearly recklessly across city streets, they ache with a wide-open heart. As readers, the speaker's secrets become ours, and we are luckily along for the ride.>Juneau's compelling and insightful poetry guides the reader through a life experienced within the vibrant and ceaseless energy of New York City. In Night of the Manhattans, every moment embraces the allure and chaos of urban life.>Juneau's seductive poems shimmer inside a New York City that is at turns infuriating and magical. Each one unspools with reckless yearning as it reaches for the sublime. The result is breathtaking.-Jonathan Vatner, author of Carnegie Hill and The Bridesmaids Union Juneau's poetry takes us to those late-night places alive in our gut. There's so much want. Be it afternoon or after midnight. This masterfully crafted collection insists upon being devoured. Read it late at night in one sitting, then read it again. A book you won't want to put down.- Nicca Ray, author of Ray by Ray: A Daughter's Take on the Legend of Nicholas Ray.…
