City Terrace Field Manual

Poetry. "This stuff is crackling! Foster's brilliant eye for the essentially human and his crisp blue-collar imagery create an important, powerful, moving prosody-the best since Kerouac and beyond"-Wanda Coleman. Sesshu Foster grew up in City Terrace and taught English in nearby Boyle Heights for ten years. He received an MFA from the Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa. ANGRY DAYS (West End Press), Foster's first collection of poetry, was published in 1987.
