The late poet laureate of Brooklyn describes various aspects of urban life in brief verses rich with precise, highly pictorial images: "While buildings sleep / the moon is drifting / like a toy balloon / over the Brooklyn Bridge." Double-page paintings in richly colored gouache accompany each poem.
