Synopsis "Second Amendment Pastoral: poems about guns, violence, and addiction (in English)"
If you want to know the REAL America, you will find it in this book. - Heath Brougher Sandy Hook. The Pulse nightclub shooting. Virginia Tech. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Columbine.The list of American tragedies continues to grow as the population looks on, asking what, if anything can be done. In this collection, bestselling poet Jay Sizemore takes on America's fascination with guns. Often pairing poems about incomparable violence with ones showcasing an inherent reverence for nature, here is a vivisection of a nation on display, its heart laid bare for the world to see and study. Kirkus Reviews says "...with sublimity and grace, Sizemore catches some of the allure of his fatal subject...These piercing poems about firearms cut to the core." And from poet Samantha Lazar: "Second Amendment Pastoral is both personal and universal. Yes, it is a strong statement on the American obsession with guns and the need for gun control now, but it also weaves relatable scenes of life and hope in contrast to the harsh reality of senseless gun violence and death. One thing is for certain, poems like "Organism," "Firearm Factory," and "Ode to a Waffle House in Nashville, TN" are unforgettable. Sizemore's imagery is both beautiful and grisly, and that is precisely why you should read his work."
