Urban (Nature-Urban Symbiosis Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Derek King (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars (3)
Urban by Derek R. King is a poetic way of showing the connection between urbanization and Mother Nature. We may think they are separate entities, but both are symbiotic with each other.

We become aware of the grit and grime of city life from the first page of this book to the last. However, each word, line, and stanza is a masterfully constructed scene. The vivid imagery will draw you into a world of metamorphosis between the cold, complex industrialization of cities and the natural world. As you read this book, you will realize that surrounding each municipality is a peripheral of biological influence.

There are moments when you feel like a wind turbine is a lovely graceful creature leaping through the air. Likewise, Derek R. King makes asphalt seem like a beautiful black onyx river to float your car on.

The grit, the hustle, and the chaos of urbanization are truly influenced by nature. This book will take you into both worlds simultaneously.

    5.0 out of 5 stars King weaves poetic magic
    Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2022
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Urban is gritty, real, and oh, so beautiful as King weaves his poetic magic on every page, leaving the reader believing all manmade structures and features in our world grew in place like nature herself. An amazing accomplishment! If you haven't read King's work before— start right here.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous collection of urban verse
    Reviewed in Germany on November 2, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is a beautifully crafted poetry collection. It is akin to the lovingly penned odes to nature that were so typical of the Romantic Poets but King has dedicated his verse to urban cities and environments.

    "Groaning sound of cobbled streets/vehicle tyres it gently meets"

    In between poems are art and images which is a lovely touch and at the end of each poem is a note where the verses were inspired.

    Particular favourites for me are on P.12, about the urban fox, P. 26 about traffic and needing to fly away and P.54, Tollcross.

    The poet has a neat, structured style, with quiet percussive imagery. He is not trying to pretty up the environment that he writes about: he paints it just as it is. This is the poetry version of Orwell, say. The beauty lies within the simplicity of it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing the poetic to the familiar
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 11, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Derek King leads us on a poetic journey through a familiar landscape viewed through fresh eyes. A touch of the silent observer pointing out the forgotten, disregarded or ignored. The repetitive thought in my head 'I've never thought about it like that' inspires us to seek the poetic in the ordinary like the poet himself.
