Like the title of Magritte's painting, \"This is not a pipe,\" these poems question perceptions of the metropolis. While NYC entices talents that swarm its stages, museums, runways, and readings, throngs of outsiders live on the city's margins, silenced. Among the grotesqueries of corruption, an African immigrant is killed by police in a case of mistaken identity. His disembodied voice introduces the book. Many of these poems attempt to speak for the \"others\" existing on the peripheral, whose perspectives have been abandoned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dean Kostos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597094161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597094160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.48w x 0.31d","brand":"Dean Kostos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068725129471,"sku":"9781597094160","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e09e2c90-17e8-4570-84ef-50873578654b.jpg?v=1685420644","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-is-not-a-skyscraper-dean-kostos-9781597094160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
