There's no place like New York City, and yet, New York City is like all places.
Choose any path, the city seems to say, each street a doorway, each door, an unknown.
From Bram Stoker and Elgin Award winner Jamal Hodge, I'm Not A Good Person, I'm A New Yorker is an exploration of New York's many paths, a poetry mixtape about race, class, love, loss, and survival that uses a Black man's lived experience to reveal the cultural architecture of the world's greatest city.
This collection channels the spirits of Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, and other poets of the Harlem Renaissance as it walks the long blocks between beauty and brutality, all beneath the bright lights of the city's tender grotesqueries, its savage and wondrous togetherness.
Proudly represented by Crystal Lake Publishing-Where Stories Come Alive!
