A bold and visceral collection of poetry, Like Cities, Like Storms presents August Kleinzahler's signature urban sensibility through verse that crackles with street-level energy and sharp, cinematic imagery. Kleinzahler chronicles the textures of city life — its noise, its weather, its transient characters — with a tone that is simultaneously gritty and lyrical, grounded in the physical world yet alive with unexpected beauty. Drawing on influences ranging from Basil Bunting to the jazz idiom, the poems illustrate a restless, wide-awake consciousness moving through landscapes both geographic and emotional. The collection argues, through its very form and music, that poetry must be earned through direct encounter with the world rather than retreated from it — a testament to Kleinzahler's reputation as one of the most distinctive and uncompromising voices in contemporary American poetry.
