Public Poems revisits American history in view of present-day events and personalities. From the Gold Rush and Mexican Cession to the Civil War, Sitting Bull, the Great Depression, and World War II; and from Elvis, Superman, and Ricky Nelson to Pine Ridge, the New York Yankees, the Vietnam War, Robert Kennedy, the moon landing, and today's politics, these religious and secular snapshots of our past and present give us mirror images of ourselves.
