English | ISBN: 1421443783 | 2022 | 248 pages | EPUB | 14 MB
A retelling of American modernism through the lines of solidarity and division within and among ethnic and religious identities found in poetry.
What happens if we approach the reading and writing of poetry not as an individual act, but as a public one?
