New York Pocket Book
by Paula Green

You need the right person beside the right tree in the right light in the right city and this is love. 
​
    — ‘Listening to Frank O’Hara’

Paula Green turns her thoughtfulness and linguistic playfulness in a new direction in her latest collection. This reflective meander around a new city – the Big Apple – is part travelogue, part essay on the nature of poetry.
