The New Clean

by Jon Sands
Jon Sands represents an ever-changing generation of those raised in cities other than their own. Beckoned by the history, mystique, and sorcery of The Big Apple, Sands’ first collection of poems, The New Clean, is just that: a redefinition of what it is to celebrate, mourn, mop it up and start again. This book doesn’t laugh at its own jokes, or weep at its own stories—true to the city of its birth—it always has somewhere important to be.
