Review of A City Bigger Than

Warren Polk did an outstanding job writing this poem. His attack on the city's "Hollywood" depiction is nothing short of inspiring. His delivery is precise and his understanding of the city's history is very accurate. Polk describes both the ups and downs of living in a large and overpopulated urban environment, and shows us that Chicago deserves a deeper look than your usual stereotypes.
