"An essential addition to the American poetic canon." --Booklist
From an award-winning poet praised for his "rhapsodic, rigorous" work (The New Yorker) comes an immersive meditation on kindship, collectivity, and environmental thought
We (The People of The United States) is a book-length poem made to the measure of the modern world. Composed of 55 sections, it features a breathtaking range of characters and concerns: The Beach Boys, Gwendolyn Brooks, the invention of the typewriter, Zora Neale Hurston, Sun Ra, life on Mars, Robert Frost, experimental physics, The Jackson 5. Throughout the collection, Bennett summons Virgil's Georgics as a lens through which to not only tell the story of his family, but a much larger one about the "form of the American mind," our relationship to the natural world, and the pursuit of a dignified, abundant life. Published the year of the nation's 250th anniversary, it is a collection that is right on time. One that calls us, as Langston Hughes once did, toward a future America that is not yet here, "and yet must be."
