THE WELL-TEMPERED CITY, winner of the 2017 PROSE Award for Outstanding Scholarly Work by a Trade Publisher.
“Rose’s non-stop tour of the city—an in depth account of its history, theory, and practice—is exhilarating and complete, wherein compassion, Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, and contemporary scientific thinking finally come to rest together. This is a hugely satisfying poem—rich in history, thought and deeply felt throughout.”
