5.0 out of 5 stars Poetry as resistance & witness, 6 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This "poetic memorial to those who suffered and resisted through poetry itself" (31) collects poems of witness from the Armenian genocide by Turkey to the anti-democracy repression of contemporary communist China, with World War I, Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, Vietnam, the battle for civil rights in the U.S., and the repressions of Central and South America in between. And more. It's pretty obvious here that, against the grain of much contemporary American poetry, poetry *does* have something to do with politics, especially as politics intrudes into the lives of people with destructive force.
