Patrick Lane in Cab 43 features poems written and performed by Patrick Lane, recorded in a taxi cab, a downtown park, and in the poet's backyard. This is Lane as he was meant to be heard, a poet of the real world, a witness and chronicler of that which is most brutal and most beautiful in human experience. He looks into the darkest corners of life and presents his findings with a fierce honesty, in a voice that combines the music of speech with the unerring rhythm of the human heart.
