About the Book

Citizen of Metropolis is the highly anticipated new poetry collection from Christine Howey, published by Crisis Chronicles Press. "Christine Howey's unique brand of conversational poetry blooms brightly in Citizen of Metropolis. Like a bee nuzzling flower after flower, I found myself buzzing from poem to poem, delighted to find tales of poems with wires showing, visitors from another world, reasons to sit, and babies in treetops. Howey asks questions we'd never think to ask, and then answers them, twinkle in her eye, with penetrating wit." -Dianne Borsenik, editor/publisher NightBallet Press, author of Age of Aquarius Citizen of Metropolis features 19 poems including "Citizen of Metropolis"; "I Don't Like This Title"; "Things That Make Me Sit"; "Satisfaction"; "Rock-A-Bye Baby"; "One Second"; "My Muse Eats Cheetos"; "Destination Vacation"; "Meals"; "Losing It at Age 73"; "Edward Hopper, Motivational Speaker"; "An Evening Out"; "Beowulf at Breakfast"; "I Want to Write a Poem with the Wires Showing"; "My Grandson on a Sled"; "Taking Bryn, Age 7, to MOMA"; "There are Parts of My Body I No Longer Encourage People to Handle Freely"; Weather Report"; and "William Randolph Hearst, Diving Alone, San Simeon."
