While these featured poets could not be more different in style, each offers a sort of mediation on America—past, present, or day-to-day lived experiences in this place. Otherworldly, in other languages, in multiple voices and shifting time; these works return our attention again and again to use of the form as a means of speaking truth. And there is no better way to bear witness than to hear them presented aloud, from the mouths of their creators.
