Book Description
Merika, Love Poems uses free-form, poetical choruses to laud, love, loathe, lambaste, and lecture on modern society, politics, and empire. MLP tells about shedding the young and deluded belief in the sanctity of the American Dream; encountering, grappling with, and accepting the truth about injustices and inequalities born of immunity from consequences; and quitting the narcotic of capitalistic mania. MLP sings about every person pouring personal vices into a social-economic-political system and claiming victimization from the byproduct. MLP chronicles the attempt to reclaim responsibility and morality, the attempt to formulate honest living, even when such honesty costs painful self-reflection. MLP is first and foremost a love story, just not the kind of love story that ends, necessarily, with happily ever after.

In the Mud
Author: Jen Fisher
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578792354
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Jen Fisher's inaugural book of poetry, In the Mud, is a book about searching. Fisher is searching for something to ground herself in, searching for home, searching for certainty, and searching for self. Her poems are filled with a raw power and an unflinching examination of agony, as well as of hope. They are unabashed, splayed open, moving us through a dialectical exploration of repulsion and attraction. In the Mud is not only about the strength of creating a life, but of continuing to search despite uncertainty.Fisher travels through the world open in totality to experience and encounter, harnessing the chaotic and powerful energy of movement within one's own humanity, next to others, with others. The ultimate achievement is spiritual, Fisher relentlessly looks for Truth within all things and in it we feel her acute attunement to the flux of fate and the fullness of life. With modernist sensibilities and a distinct tone and rhythm, Fisher marries simple language to complex topics. Her work comes to us during a revolutionary time and speaks to the varying degrees of violence we all endure in the decaying patriarchal and capitalist social order. She shows us what it means to cast off old values, and the complexities that process entails.

A People's History of the United States
Author: Howard Zinn
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 9780060528423
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 764
Book Description
Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.
