About the book (from the dust jacket)
“… In the city lies man’s hope. He will live there and love there and raise his children. He will struggle there and cheat there and learn to be afraid. He will come there and laugh there and shed his tears.” This is how James Kavanaugh, poet, author and psychologist, views the city and its humanity. In his previous books he reflected upon man and his loneliness and life away from the teeming masses. Now, in Faces in the City, he observes the world around him with magnificent insight. He sees the city as a place that is cursed and abhorred, but also as a home to be cherished by millions of people. And in the faces of those who live there, James Kavanaugh observes all the emotions of which man is capable as he comes to terms with his city.
If the beauty of the poetic form is its ability to communicate emotion as well as thought, then James Kavanaugh writes the most beautiful poetry today.
