Product Description
My aim in compiling this collection has been to find the best available work by living American poets that is, broadly speaking, political in nature. Readers will find many different moods and modes of expression on a variety of topics. --Mark Pawlak "We have always depended on the work of poets to speak more beautifully, more powerfully than anyone else, on behalf of peace and justice. PRESENT/TENSE is a wonderful collection of poetry that fulfills that promise. In its pages we find poets who move us profoundly and lift our spirits."--Howard Zinn
