A milestone of modern poetry, American history comes to life in the
actual words of victims and criminals in its courts. Taking as its
raw material the voices of witnesses, victims, and perpetrators
discovered by the author in criminal court transcripts, Charles
Reznikoff’s book-length poem sets forth a stark panorama of late
19th and early 20th century America—the underside of the Gilded
Age, beset by racism and casual violence, poverty and disease. In
radically stripped-down language of tremendous intensity,
Reznikoff’s poem is an unforgettable reading experience. This
edition also includes Reznikoff’s prose studies for the poem,
unavailable to readers since the 1930s, and a new introduction by
critic and essayist Eliot Weinberger.
