Critical Urban Romantics
By Jim AllenThe sounds of the street become a heart-swelling symphony in the hands of the urban romantics, whose celebrations of life and love find beauty in the back alleys and look towards heaven from tar-covered rooftops. That rumble beneath these street poets' feet might be the subway rolling by, or it could be the pavement's enraptured answer to their entreaties. Maybe both.
