Medium Speed in the City Called Paris: Poems, Vol. 1 by Amir Said (The Truth About New York) is a collection of poems that is bold in its approach and broad in its appeal.  From the intricate nuances of city life in Paris and New York to the complex issues of race and inequality to love — won, lost, and disregarded — to the battle of man vs. machine (computers and networks), Medium Speed in the City Called Paris is an astonishingly creative exploration of humanity and one of modern poetry’s most unique offerings.
