Glow: City at Night Poetry, edited by Alan Parry, is a striking and immersive poetry anthology that captures the restless energy, solitude, and fleeting beauty of the urban night. Featuring a diverse range of contemporary voices, this collection explores the city as a space of possibility and decay, where neon lights blur into dawn and human connection is as ephemeral as the flicker of a streetlamp.
From the intoxication of late-night revelry to the quiet introspection of solitary wanderers, Glow navigates the liminal hours between dusk and dawn with evocative imagery, lyrical intensity, and an unflinching gaze. Poets within these pages unravel themes of longing, anonymity, love, and loss, set against the electric hum of the modern metropolis.
This anthology is perfect for readers who are drawn to poetry that pulses with life and atmosphere, reflecting both the euphoria and alienation of contemporary cityscapes. Whether you are a lover of urban literature, a wide reader of contemporary poetry, or someone who finds solace in the poetry of the streets, Glow: City at Night Poetry will transport you into the city’s heart—where stories unfold under artificial stars and every shadow tells a tale.
Perfect for readers of: Allen Ginsberg, Frank O’Hara, Deborah Landau, and anyone captivated by the rhythms of city life after dark.
