When I read the first few lines of Michael Bazzett’s Imaginary City, I thought, “There’s no way he can keep this up for the entire poem.” He did. After finishing the first three poems, I muttered aloud, “But it can’t stay this good for the entire book.” It did. It was almost like I didn’t want to let myself believe a manuscript this strong was in front of me because it’d be too much of a let down for it to sputter to a close. Fortunately for me, and now you, The Imaginary City sustains a level of emotional engagement, precision, and inventiveness from start to finish that has made Michael Bazzett one my new favorite emerging writers. I’m honored to be able to count him among our OW! Authors.
