Summary:

Bruce Colbert's powerful new poetry collection rests on realities and the art of seeing, tasting and being in this human chaos we call life. And with the muscular shoulders of Chicago, maybe the last great American city, as much of his backdrop, we are taken on an enduring emotional and spiritual quest. His Architecture of Being is a painful and profound journey of the heart.NighthawksStadium stocking cap pulled determinedlydown above chilled pink fleshy faces almost young that herald hints of hurried make upand ageless eyes, brownish blond hair a frame to a Gdansk self portrait withnasal three flat dirty-carpeted accentsAnd a toothy smile of cold white foamyresolve that sees this nocturnal instant crawlingguiltless toward them across a damp mahogany bar in its reality.
