Description

This is an excellent time to read this anthology of revolutionary poetry. Given the political controversies which have emerged with the recent presedential election it is time that thoughtful Americans re-evaluate the values expressed by capitalism and the alternative put forth in many of these poems.

This is a poetry anthology for activists, a poetry of transformative action and engagement. This book brings together 79 poets, cultural activists writing in twelve languages (with translations), offering their visions around the theme of this year's anthology, Reclaiming Community. As every gentrified or ghettoized neighborhood knows, capitalism destroys communities. So how do we restore community, arrive back at community, how do we reclaim community?
