The Making of a New Yorker

A wandering poet believes every city has a soul—until he meets New York, which refuses to speak back. Raggles travels across America reading cities like living beings, decoding their moods and personalities as if they were lines of poetry. But when he arrives in Manhattan, he finds something unlike anything he has ever known: a city that feels cold, unreadable, and emotionally invisible. Just when he decides it has no heart at all, a single accident reveals the opposite truth in the most human way possible.
