About the Book

A vivid snapshot of Toronto's everyday life, captured in precise, observant prose.

Joe Fiorito spent three days on a downtown Toronto corner, watching the city unfold. Rust Is A Form of Fire paints an objective portrait of urban life through concise, declarative sentences. It's a testament to the beauty found in the mundane, revealing the rhythms and stories of a city observed with patience and care.

This collection is for those who appreciate the nuances of city living, the diversity of its inhabitants, and the hidden narratives within its streets. Discover Toronto through the eyes of a seasoned observer, and find a new appreciation for the city's everyday moments.



About the Author :

Review :
Warning to the reader: Dont waste your time trying to define the form Joe Fiorito uses to drag you into his world. Prose and poetry have existed as neighbours for centuries. Dont be certain you know Toronto just because youre Torontonian by birth or by address. Not until you read Rust Is a Form of Fire, a book from the man known as the mayor of the unknown Toronto, the man who goes into corners of the city that we never acknowledge and pretend not to see. And dont read this book if you arent ready to meet people next door youve never noticed before. Joe Fiorito, columnist of the citys daily life spanning two centuries, is looking to capture your heart and mind. But, if your aim is to know Toronto the way it truly is, then dont miss this book. Its poetry speaks more eloquently than any document. Final warning: Dont forget to pass this book to your neighbour. -- Goran Simic, author of Immigrant Blues, and Sprinting from the Graveyard
