These meditations--harsh, honest, explicit (though never vulgar), dark, and astute--reflect a sentiment for the urbane and the primitive in nature, history, love, and humankind. Mann invites readers into lush landscapes, sundry histories, and a contemporary gay San Francisco populated by those things and people loved and lost. Jonathan Bracker explores his visits of Paris through his peotry in his collection, Paris Sketches. Like public sketches of the city done by artists, Bracker uses his poetry to describe the scenery of things witnessed and experiences undergone. About Randall Mann: Mann was born in Provo, Utah, and raised in Kentucky and Florida. He was educated at the University of Florida. His Poems and reviews have appeared in the Kenyon Review, New Republic, Paris Review, Poetry, Salmagundi, and Verse. He lives in San Francisco. About Jonathan Braker: Braker was born in New York City in 1936. He tought college English in several states and U.S. Navy ships at sea. Bracker’s work has appeared in America, Poetry Northwesr, Southern Poetry Review, The New Yorker, Writer’s Digest and other periodicals as well as in several anthologies.

Please include full name and contact information * * * Books Inc. is a locally owned and operated independent bookseller with 10 locations in California.
