Red, White, and Blues, a new anthology from the award-winning
editors of Like Thunder: Poets Respond to Violence in America and
Vespers: Contemporary American Poems of Religion and Spirituality,
offers a chorus of contemporary American poets on the idea of
liberty, democracy, patriotism, and the American Dream - a
twenty-first-century ""Song of Myself"" for the entire country. The
poems in Red, White, and Blues reflect our collective memory - from
icons of pop culture to national disasters and times of unrest. Yet
they are not simply reflections of the headline news or political
diatribes of the day; instead, they provide roadmaps of American
history - roadmaps of where we've been, who we are, and where we're
going as a nation. Poets as diverse as Martin Espada and Paisley
Rekdal, J. P. Dancing Bear and Vivian Shipley seek to answer
questions that resonate within the heart of our national identity -
what does it mean to be an American? What is the American Dream?
How does one define patriotism? Regardless of ethnicity, gender, or
class, each poet's answer to such questions proves that our
experiences unite us more than they divide us. Red, White, and
Blues is an ambitious collection of the finest contemporary poetry
on the subject of America and the indefatigable spirit of its
citizens. Its poems don't pull punches, nor do they celebrate
without cause. They show spirit and excitement, outrage and joy,
solemnity and ambiguity - all reflections of our wonderfully
diverse nation.
