Bye-Bye Land
Winner of the Isabella Gardner Award, this book-length poem is a collection of voices-in-dialogue-overheard, remembered, internal-that represents the mind at work as it considers the destructiveness of humanity, the hypocrisy bred in the bones of American venture. Voices from personal conversations, political speeches, Guantanamo detainees, news, and poets fill these pages, capturing a world of disrupted beauty and unrealized potential.
