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.

This anthology of poems, by 50 contemporary American poets, cuts to
the heart of our theological and spiritual underpinnings. From
deathbed spirituals to initiation songs and transformative ballads,
they help us realize we are not alone.
Diaspora constitutes a powerful descriptor for the modern condition
of the contemporary poet, the spokesperson for the psyche of
America. The poems in American Diaspora: Poetry of Displacement
focus on the struggles and pleasures of creating a home -- physical
and mental -- out of displacement, exile, migration, and
alienation.
To fully explore the concept of diaspora, the editors have
broadened the scope of their definition to include not only the
physical act of moving and immigration but also the spiritual and
emotional dislocations that can occur -- as for Emily Dickinson and
other poets -- even in a life spent entirely in one location.
More than one hundred and thirty contemporary poets reflect and
meditate, rage and bless, as they tell their own stories. In short,
this is an anthology of American poetry that draws upon the
sensitivity, tenderness, rebelliousness, patience, and spirituality
that point to the future of our nation.
