M-80
n M-80, his third book of poems, Jim Daniels explores the sharp edges of urban life. His characters struggle for survival in the face of rising urban violence, racial tension, and a crumbling economy. The collection is named for one of the most dangerous fireworks found on city streets - an apt metaphor for an urban world where the fuse is always lit.

Praise for this book
Jim Daniels gives voice to the voiceless. . . . He makes articulate the feelings of inarticulate people.-- "New York Times Book Review"
Idealistic and original, this poetry turns the self inside out, like a glove, and refits it to the world's hand. Personal becomes Universal. Casual diction, non-metrical and intellectual unconventionality, and patient introspection ÿ the careful combing of the past ÿ draw us inevitably closer to the ever-present but elusive mystery of 'the possible world.'-- "Michigan Quarterly Review"
