Описание: Part poetry, part history, Paulenichs portrait is an indictment of our contemporary times, his John Brown both prophet and terrorist, hero and cold-blooded killer, an everyman for our schizophrenic America. In stunningly imaginative poems that range from catalogs of the dead to lyric meditations on religions role in our complicity, Paulenich masterfully connects the dots from Harpers Ferry to our modern terrorist state, pointing out along the way that Slavery is the American Leviathan, and we, / Jonahs all, rattle about inside its brass ribs.
