Stanzas in America offers readers a guided tour of our country's many rooms: past and present, personal and political, comfortable and calamitous. These poems are as American as JFK and the Second Amendment, Jesus Christ and the KKK, or Emily Dickinson and Erectile Dysfunction. If you have a lover's quarrel with the USA in the 21st century, this book just might be for you.
