(More customer reviews)Farming In San Francisco is a compendium of original, lyrical poetry by Daniel Richman in celebration of the city in which he has lived, loved, worked, and played in for thirty years. These are poems that focus upon the people of these famed American city set on the seashore of the great Pacific. Loves and Fishes: It rained all day/upsetting the crows/on the cross/atop Saint Phillip's Church,/who leaned east/and leaned west/in search of a dry inch.//The peak grew sharper/by the hour/and darker/the choked gutters dropping cold sheets/And when the ladies left/they stepped in lakes.//But remember,/lovers of the sun,/each drop becomes a crumb.

Daniel Richman celebrates San Francisco, its Bay Area architecture, its flora and fauna, its weather, its restaurants and food,plus something transcendent that can't be defined but can be felt. It is an undeniably beautiful city, and yet the poet doesn't hesitate to point outthe threat and danger that sometimes underlies the beauty. The poems are lush with sensual experience: the sound of the waves, the tastes andsmells, and of course the vistas.
