A Personal Poem About Chicago, and Other Abbreviations by Eddie (Review)
It’s always so fascinating to witness the evolution of a creator as they
develop and grow into their work. I’ve been fortunate to be able to follow

books were always charming and thrived with a hearty sense of humor
about life, but A Personal Poem About Chicago, with its far darker, cerebral
tone, is an astonishing, visionary collection – haunted, even. Haunted not by
ghosts coiling through the past, but living, breathing humans and the
injustices that continue to plague us.
