Literary art as means and method of resistance: Forty contemporary American poets respond to the state of our democracy. Including work by:

Curtis L. Crisler – Dante De Stefano – Vincent A. Cellucci – Ren Wilding – Subhaga Crystal Bacon – Tara Skurtu – Jennifer Martelli – Deborah Schwartz  – Frank Mundo – Cornelius Eady –  Christopher Shipman – Andy Young – Leah Umansky 

The quivers, the shakes, the iambic dread,

The anger, the insomnia, the slow tic

Of the wait, the wail, the transcribed too late,

In the manner of those who have gone before us,

Geiger counters, clacking the rising damp.

 

~ from Cornelius Eady, “All the American Poets Have Titled Their New Books “The End”
