Concrete Meat by Julia Vinograd (1981)

Due to the nature of Ms. Vinograd's life and publishing history (a book a year for most of her life) we can to see the ever observant poet watching the world from street level while we also watch her age and wither year by year. At least until her sister began to provide the cover art for her annual missives. This is no exception. It is as she describes at the beginning of 'The Mirror's Edge' :

                          "We scare the monsters but not too far away"

no, indeed not. Otherwise, what would we write about?
