W.R. Rodriguez shares his unique vision as the Beautiful Bronx of his parent's youth seems to vanish before his eyes. This is the second book of "The Bronx Trilogy": three books of poetry about The Bronx.
The entire text of "From The Banks Of Brook Avenue" is included in this "Annotated Edition," along with a backstory for each poem, notes and early drafts, and comments on editing and revision. "The Annotated Edition" offers insight into the creative process of poetry: from inspiration to publication.
These poems will take you to the South Bronx where the author grew up and worked as a bootblack in his family's shoe shine parlor.
"From The Banks Of Brook Avenue" was awarded the 2018 North Street Book Prize. With irony, passion, and vivid imagery, the poems explore and celebrate The Bronx and urban life.
