Description
"Undercover" is a collection of poems by Harry Fagel, who has been a Las Vegas Metropolitan cop specializing in vice, narcotics, robbery and homicide for fifteen years. "People see a poet as this soft sensitive liberal writer that sits in a room somewhere and writes poetry, but that's not what poetry is," says Fagel. "Poetry is a visceral representation of passion and emotion and life. In the job that I do, I see a lot of things that are burdening to the heart; they are heavy on the heart. Poetry is a way to help myself release those things for myself and help myself to understand the pain that we experience in this world."
