THE CITY: [un]poems, thoughts, rhymes & miscellany is A.D. Carson’s first collection–carefully crafted poems, lyrics, and narratives that mirror the realities of the city’s life. Not only a meditation on the sometimes grave circumstances faced by those living within its limits, THE CITY offers glimpses of hope in places where it’s most needed and seldom seen.
“The world seems to love survival stories. So does the ‘hood. If crime was the way to make a living, or to make living bearable, then we celebrated criminals because they exemplified overcoming the struggle, and they taught us that we, too, would be able to survive if we learned from their example.”~The Art That Imitates Where I’m From
THE CITY is also complimented by a new ALBUM/DVD combo pack.
A.D. Carson is a writer, performer, and an educator. His Essay “Oedipus-Not-So-Complex: A Blueprint for Literary Education” is a chapter in Jay-Z: Essays on Hip Hop’s Philosopher King, edited by Julius Bailey (McFarland and co., Inc., 2011). His first novel, COLD, is also available from Mayhaven Publishing, Inc.
