“The City of the Unseized Moment”

AboutA short poem evoking a small Illinois prairie town whose Main Street architecture — "it's Louis Sullivan all the way," with terra cotta, cast iron, and incised limestone commercial facades, and residential work by Frank Lloyd Wright, George Maher, Walter Burley Griffin, William Gray Purcell, and George Grant Elmslie — the poet reads as authentically rooted in the land, "real America," before closing on a wry note about wealth reshaping that heartland vision.
