Daniels's third book of poems, in which he explores the sharp edges of urban life. His characters struggle for survival against urban violence, racial tension and a crumbling economy. The collection is named after one of the most dangerous fireworks found on city streets.

Review:
"Jim Daniels gives voice to the voiceless. . . . He makes articulate the feelings of inarticulate people."
"--New York Times Book Review"
Jim Daniels gives voice to the voiceless. . . . He makes articulate the feelings of inarticulate people.
"--New York Times Book Review""
"Idealistic and original, this poetry turns the self inside out, like a glove, and refits it to the world's hand. Personal becomes Universal. Casual diction, non-metrical and intellectual unconventionality, and patient introspection the careful combing of the past draw us inevitably closer to the ever-present but elusive mystery of 'the possible world.'"
