Thinking about the ways in which economic policy, racism, and militarized policing combine to shape the city, \u003ci\u003eLake Michigan\u003c\/i\u003e's poems continue exploring the themes from Borzutzky's \u003ci\u003ePerformance of Becoming Human\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the National Book Award for Poetry. But while the influences in this book (C?saire, Vallejo, Neruda) are international, the focus here is local as the book takes a hard look at neoliberal urbanism in the historic city of Chicago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Borzutzky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Pitt Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822965220","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42827088724105,"sku":"9780822965220","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_94f0be6f-37d2-4e43-a589-eca60f2a62fe.jpg?v=1721711937","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/lake-michigan-9780822965220","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
