From the back cover:

Rounders and lowlife, penitentiary lifers and backalley dumpster divers, Pete Trower has seen it all and been there too.  He has recorded what he has seen and where he has been with a meticulous eye and finely crafted music.  Hitting the Bricks: Urban Jazz Poems is a hymn of praise to the other Vancouver, the back alleys and dark midnight streets, and the authentic culture that inhabits them.   These are the poems of a man walking past midnight down urban streets and all the while, his ear is attuned to an inner jazz, and the sounds that go bop in the night.
