Blending Frank O'Hara's keen eye and Jeff Tweedy's heartache, this collection celebrates urban America, in its bustling, maddening glory.

By cataloging the movements and moments of a constantly shifting city, Martin's poems posit a metropolis that is always already dancing and where no one dances alone. Part philosophy and part song, this dynamic collection moves us to never / stop moving . . . to always go / sincere in the blur. An intimate, atmospheric distillation of how one wakes only / to this false peace / with the voice / of a weatherman, Becoming Weather confronts the comforts and hierarchies that make us complacent.
