New pandemic-inspired urban poetry from alumna ('74) Amy Madden

The 4th collection of poetry from alumna Amy Madden Taylor '74. A veteran New Yorker and New York Blues Hall of Fame bassist, Amy has weathered the evolution and disintegration of the music scene in the city. With soul and nostalgia she continues, in this fourth collection, to harvest the grit and heart of what remains in a volume that reads as the lyric-score of a stunning urban opera.

'Urbanities' begins as a chronicle of a pandemic-paralyzed city. Descriptive, observant and periscopic, the entries unfold in real-time a poetic map of an unprecedented episode in New York history. From there we discover a vivid cast of characters from a songwriter’s intimate universe that feels oddly familiar.
