City
Multi-author chapbook
“When you enter the city in the dark you enter
with your life in your hands. When you enter
the city at dawn, where then is your life?
In your throat?”
The first of a series of multi-author chapbooks curated from contributions to Sidebrow’s collaborative projects, City threads the poetry and prose of T.F.D., Danielle Dutton, Matt Hart, and Shane Michalik into a valenced reflection on the city.
