The Moon as Understood by Skyscrapers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781633981126)

"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."
