About This Item
editions Joca Seria & Turtle Point Press, 2005. 163 pp. Edges with light gray stains. Rear of wraps with light wear. In English and French. 'Thirty-seven American poets and one British poet have answered out call for texts, many even composing works specifically for the occasion. The resulting collection, finally, is often strikingly polemic. The poets we contacted were sensitive to the political nature of the anthology's joint publication in two countries whose relationship has come under considerable strain as of late. It's been said, in so many words, that Leaves of Grass dresses American democracy in a moose-pasture of universality. It's true we can no longer harken to this and other of its utopian fictions with equal naivete. But our world needs beauty, ethics and ideals . . .
