Hailed by historians and journalists alike as the "best political poet in America" and "poet laureate of struggle", Sedillo returns with another instant classic. City on the Second Floor is a meditation on how the world we build and rebuild every day attacks us in so very many unexamined ways. As its pages reveal, "the city was built against us."
