On City Streets An Anthology of Poetry Author:Nancy Larrick (Editor) City sights, city sounds, city people. With the help of hundreds of inner-city and smaller-city schoolchildren, Nancy Larrick has assembled this collection of poems in which the city comes to life - singing out in all its diversity and vitality. Here you will find loneliness and despair in poems such as Langston Hughes's "Mother to Son&... more »quot; and Frances Park's "A Sad Song About Greenwich Village," as well as the fantastical nonsense of Eve Merriam's "Alligator on the Escalator" and John Holmes's "Rhyme of Rain." But whether tragic or rejoicing, the poems in "On City Streets" will call out to you with all the vibrant drama and emotion of city life.« less
