I enjoyed the references to 45 with "plastic wives golf carts country clubs and private towers." <br /> I loved the way the poem moves down the page and carried me along with what felt like understated urgency. And the point of everyone angry at each other and not at the oppressor was so satisfying. <br /> <br /><br /><br />Mvcnvbwrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15132577934762938555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098635465970079332.post-42927093630904400412017-12-10T08:12:26.877+09:002017-12-10T08:12:26.877+09:00George Wallace, with his usual perspicacity, enter...George Wallace, with his usual perspicacity, enters into an imagined dialogue with di Prima that points to America's disheartening failure to fulfill its promise. With di Prima as muse, Wallace laments that there "was no revolution," either of consciousness or conscience but instead, hollow materialism, contempt for the environment, and growing intolerance, the bigots reveling in shouts of "trump trump trump." The poem works its way through the symptoms of America's malaise, invoking some immanent revolution in the seeds planted by Diane DiPrima's political stance and poetics. Fine and troubling work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100383011956825787noreply@blogger.com
