Donna Stonecipher’s Model City poems are wonderful; you can find a series of six in the recently published annual New American Writing 30.
It was like traveling to visit a model city and finding yourself in a museum looking at architectural models of the model city, set pristinely atop pedestals like reliquaries for the human need to idealize.

Acutely observed poems, great voice.
