City Thin as Paper - Chris Pannell

On well-worn roads

rising up through cracks and potholes,

old ghosts hold forth – “The Map”

Award-winning Hamilton poet Chris Pannell moves back into the streets of the city he has long written about in this latest collection. With his keen eye for detail and willingness to engage with both the city’s beauty and its destitution, Pannell continues to show us that even the most ordinary moment can be etched with grace.
