City Eclogue
This is an interesting book. 3 points of particular interest would be the urban, beauty, and American themes that run through the poems.
The first point is the urban. Time and time again there's the "our stone" and "our steel", such as the poem "Sit In What City We're In" where it also talks about "our hive grid" and the lines of the country. It makes you think.
The second point would be the beauty, as we walk through the country and experience what it has to offer.
The third point is the American, where it talks about the greatness that the country offers, the stores and shops, and the potential for a society that's willing to grow. (Also with consequences if it fails to learn.)
