Pittsburgh sings in steel and river light. In Songs Of Pittsburgh And Other Verses, Harrison Denning Mason crafts an American poetry book that catches the pulse of a city rising with the furnaces and settling with the evening whistle. These Pittsburgh city life poems, these songs of Pittsburgh poems, move through pavements, riverbanks and smoky horizons, creating a distinctive regional poetry collection rooted in Pennsylvania regional poetry and the everyday textures of industrial America. Written among the early 20th century poems that first gave modern cities their voice, Mason’s verses speak in plain, musical language that feels immediate yet historically rich.At once intimate and panoramic, this classic verse anthology gives lasting shape to working streets, quiet homes and the broad river valley, making it ideal for anyone who enjoys regional voices and the social history of industrial America poetry. As a kindred spirit to the grounded realism of Carl Sandburg style poetry, and a resonant companion for Edgar Lee Masters fans, it is perfect for poetry lovers seeking a vivid sense of place and a thoughtful gift for Pittsburgh natives and admirers of the city’s past. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure, welcoming both casual browsers and serious collectors of early 20th century poems.

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
