Boa Edfitins, Ltd offers a book entitled Birth Marks by Jim Daniels. Growing up as the son and grandson of auto workers in Detroit left an imprint on Carnegie Mellon University Professor Jim Daniels' life, and it frequently shines through the award-winning writer's work. In his new poetry collection ''Birth Marks,'' Daniels captures the gritty culture of working-class urban life. He uses the 39 poems to take readers on a tour of post-industrial Detroit and Pittsburgh to tell the tales of cities and their residents who came out swinging when the economy collapsed around them.
