Urban

By Derek R. King

Urban by Derek R. King is a poetic way of showing the connection between urbanization and Mother Nature. We may think they are separate entities, but both are symbiotic with each other.

We become aware of the grit and grime of city life from the first page of this book to the last. However, each word, line, and stanza is a masterfully constructed scene. The vivid imagery will draw you into a world of metamorphosis between the cold, complex industrialization of cities and the natural world. As you read this book, you will realize that surrounding each municipality is a peripheral of biological influence.

There are moments when you feel like a wind turbine is a lovely graceful creature leaping through the air. Likewise, Derek R. King makes asphalt seem like a beautiful black onyx river to float your car on.

The grit, the hustle, and the chaos of urbanization are truly influenced by nature. This book will take you into both worlds simultaneously.
