Publisher's Synopsis
Poems by thirty-two North-American poets, on any theme they wanted. Thirty-two... one poem... A good number. With that many there was sure to be variety. But at the leisurely pace of one poem a day, one could read them in about a month-which wouldn't be daunting or overwhelming. North-American... on any theme... From all over North America. What would be on their hearts? What their concerns? If one reads as a world citizen and/or as an ethnologist, this would be interesting stuff. If one is a reader of poems or a reader in general and/or just plain curious, this would provide a manageable mental or spiritual landscape to explore. These poems are accessible to everyone. If you've lived, if you're aware, if you have a reasonable vocabulary in English, the curtains of these poems are open. You can walk right in. And so we present to you our book 'The Sounds of America'. [Glen Kappy]
