Edward Sanders.
America: A History in Verse, vol. I, 1900-1939
Black Sparrow, Santa Rosa, CA.
From the man who brought us the immortal sentence
"All was"
comes Part I
of a vast and seething flowing poem
of a vast and seething flowing nation
making this epic
the most maximus of its kind
in the history of Whitmanian lineage
Children of Amerigo
throw down yr flaking history books
covered with dust in civics we trust
& learn from a poet historian!
How Americans swooned in wargasm
from the Spanish Civil War
to Hit-vom creamdreams
of interNazi splendor
howling across the Xeno-expanse
confused from being new
two centuries later
with commentaries too
and plenty opinion
Sanders hides not
his lust and disgust
of our glorious mutation
through "investigative poetics"
our author sings again
of the greatest poem ever inspired
from sea
to shining seed
of what we will be
in the weary bloody future
of looking back
through a lyrical sphere
at a lyrical sphere
here
O Roil o' Century roil!
