Poetry. HOW WE SAVED THE CITY examines gentrification, ghosts, and concurrent and successive cities in Kate Schapira's chosen home of Providence, RI. Through a range of formal strategies and imagined dialogues, these poems raise urgent and timely questions: who decides what a city and its people need? Who has power, in various forms, to make real their versions of the city and themselves? Racketeers, artists, criminals, activists, profiteers and lovers cross and recross, build and rebuild the contested terrain of property, gender, habitation and change.
