Born in Weymouth, Mass., and a lifelong resident of the greater Boston area, Steve Carter is a jazz guitarist and writer. Intermodulations is Carter's first full-length book of poetry. The poems capture the interplay between music, art, and literature, and are rich with glimpses of city life. The City of Boston has a large presence in many of these poems, appearing almost as a character itself. As the author describes it in"Fishing in Florida": This morning I flew out of Boston, where poems are still immanent in the late afternoon air Deeply personal, crossing back and forth between the familiar and the transcendental, these subtle yet expansive poems will quietly shift your perspective on the world.
