Response to City Eclogue

1. My first point of interest is how the tone of these poems seems to be bipolar. A lot of them he starts out describing a tree, with a sense of beauty and awe, then changes to intense disgust about how the tree is planted. The city trucks are a frequent target of his vehement disgust.
2. Another topic that seems to crop up in his writing frequently is the difference in how colored people, and white people, are treated. The way it is addressed makes me think this is about modern racism, probably in a large city, perhaps in a primarily segregated part.
3. The author seems to have a seething anger directed towards the cities trucks, or any type of modern equipment. Maybe Ed Roberson is a Primitive Anarchist.
