Описание: A poet, activist, and mother traces her path as we careen toward this perilous moment in American political and civic life.

Wendy Willis is one of our countrys sharpest observers of politics, art, and the American spirit. Her view is honed by her place as a mother, a poet, and when necessary, as an activist. Together, the essays in Field Notes from the Republic work within that largely unmapped place where the heartbreaks and uncertainties of ones inner life brush up against the cruelties and responsibilities of politics and government.

Her pointed and wide-ranging essays explore everything from personal resistance to the rise of political podcasts, civic loneliness to the exploitation of personal data, public outrage to the opioid crisis--all with a poets gift to finding the sacred in the mundane, a hope in the dark. Even the titles to her essays hint at the lyrical complexities within: A Million People on One String: Big Data and the Poetic Imagination, Peeping in the Crack under the Goddamn Door: One Citizens Reflections on The Phenom that is S-Town 94, Reckoning with the Bros: Donald Trump, Robert Bly and Swimming in the Sea of Grief, I Hear the Place That Cant Be Named: One Writers Reflections on the Right to Be Forgotten.

For many, it feels as if Americans have never before been involved in a situation where every day brings a loud new threat to our public order and to our commonwealth. Our executive branch is demanding our scrutiny on a daily, even hourly, basis. Again and again, Wendy Willis returns to the demanding question posed by Czech writer, activist, and politician Vaclav Havel: What does it mean to live in truth? As a way to hear this question and to begin an answer, Willis circles around it, to realize her duties and reactions to truth and power as a woman, a mother, a lawyer and a poet--as an American.
