Description
Poetry. Like Woody Guthrie, one finds Philip Raisor holding back the end of the world. His poems slow dance with the past, from the American Revolution to the latest black body lying on the ground. With its hard-earned kinship with historical wisdom, this book is full of startling and much-needed illuminations. This book is a sweeping account of our troubled history as a nation, with all its many faults and accomplishments, told through many voices.
