Is There Anyone in America?

Our super-saturated 24/7 life sometimes batters, sometimes soothes, always causes us to question where we are and why things are happening. This collection of short poems is the fruit of days of reflection on what it means to live in the USA today. The 28 poems collected here are meant to be lyrical and quizzical, earth-bound and ethereal as they explore such varied topics as the environment, military installations, the quiet of Southern nights, the victimization of African American boys, the influence of mass media, and what it might mean to be a saint.
