"The city mirrors her own soul- restless, stubborn, desperate to belong." - pg. 9
A book for those who've ever like they don't belong- in an unfamiliar place or room of strangers, in the arms of someone breaking their heart, in the depths of their own mind.
It is for those who find themselves searching for meaning, even in the smallest things.
From R. Clift, comes her seventh full collection of poetry. 'Voices in Giant Cities' is a book of poems written on location around the world. R. Clift traveled to six giant cities to notice them, to capture them, to better understand them. To claim moments from each city as her own, to allow them to be her muse.
To learn how to love them- and the most secretive parts of herself- piece by piece, poem by poem.
Travel through the eyes of an artist to see New York City, Los Angeles, Paris, Rome, Edinburgh, and London in a way you have likely never experienced before. Relive iconic locations, discover hidden gems, and carry this book with you the next time you visit one of these cities- and maybe, just maybe- you will see them in a way a poet once did.
