The city, at once benevolent and indifferent to its residents, is the inspiration for this debut collection of poetry. In the first poem, a young woman arrives in the big city, feeling anonymous and wondering what her life there will bring. The poet builds upon the arrival to develop urban themes of anonymity and collectivity alongside individualist themes of freedom, loneliness, and growing self-identity. Part private reflection, part love letter to the metropolis, the poems pull back the curtain on city life, finding beauty in neon signs and profundity in Laundromats. In this collection, the individual and the city interweave, and urban immersion becomes an essential element in personal growth.
