Poetry. The latest volume from Tucson poet Dan Featherston. Featherston's work has appeared in a number of journals, most recently Aufgabe, Chicago Review, Cultural Society, Kiosk, and New American Writing. The poems in this volume bear witness to atrocities at home and abroad, evolving "out of an interest in the politics of aesthetic form...the link between the particle drift of so-called experimental forms and free-market capitalism"--FEATHERSTON. Addressing topics from the Columbine shootings to the history of laughter, the poet nails the reader to a vision of reality that is both moving and terrifying. "Poets like Dan Featherston go a long way toward making the reader aware of the artifice of politics and the politics of idealogy"--Richard Deming.Featherston, Dan is the author of 'United States ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781600010408 and ISBN 1600010407.
