The poems of Streets in Their Own Ink map the internal geographies of characters who inhabit severe and often savage city streets, finding there a tension that transfigures past and present, memory and fantasy, sin and sanctity, nostalgia and the need to forget. Full of music and ecstasy, they consecrate a shadowed, alternate city of dreams and retrospection that parallels a modern city of hard realities. Ever present is Dybek's signature talent for translating extreme and fantastic events into a fabulous dailiness, as though the extraordinary were everywhere around us if only someone would tell us where to look (Geoffrey Wolff).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStuart Dybek\u003c\/b\u003e's books include \u003ci\u003eI Sailed with Magellan\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 2003), \u003ci\u003eThe Coast of Chicago \u003c\/i\u003e(Picador, 2003), and a previous volume of poetry, \u003ci\u003eBrass Knuckles\u003c\/i\u003e.
