no time like now: Poems in Bloomington, MN

In Codrescu’s own words:
“I wrote my first book of poems,
License to Carry a Gun
(Big Table, 1970), when I first lived in New York City, 1967–1970. Those were troubled times and I was 21 years-old. Decades later the city has changed and the times are still troubled. These poems, 2016–‘, try to find out just how changed my dear city and how troubled my days.”
