The City of Dreadful Night and Other Poems by Thomas Bird Mosher, James Thomson

No. 1 gloomiest guy. Enjoy a fake city, good images in the title poem.

Each bit asks/answers a question. What's it like, who lives here, why might there be light, why might people gather. Memorable bits waking from daydreams to this real night, the lit mansion, the looping tour guide.

Some others surprisingly funny. Liked the good old rule and day.

My crocodiles are happy in my slime.
