American Journal: Fifty Poems for Our Time

Published in association with the Library of Congress, American Journal presents fifty contemporary poems that explore and celebrate our country and our lives. In the elegant arrangement of this anthology, we hear stories from rural communities and urban centers, laments of loss in war and in grief, experiences of immigrants, outcries at injustices, and poems that honor elders, evoke history, and praise our efforts to see and understand one another. American Journal investigates our time with curiosity, wonder, and compassion.
