{"product_id":"america-g89150dde","title":"America","description":"“Seething Nation! Vast \u0026amp; Flowing! Day \u0026amp; Night \u0026amp; Dawn!” Bold, sweeping, investigative, rhapsodic, hilarious, heart-rendering, thought-provoking, Edward Sanders' three-volume, America: A History in Verse uniquely and brilliantly  tells \"the story of America...a million stranded fabric \/ woven by billions of hands \u0026amp; minds”. It is by turns angry, wistful, defiant and extremely funny re-inventions of historical and biographical worlds, a highly original mix of chronicle, anecdote, document, reportage, paean and polemic.\nVolume 1, 1900-1939 chronicles the birth of the American century through one world war and to the brink of a second. Not since Leaves of Grass has there been such an un-ironic attempt to give voice to “the rhapsody of a great nation \/ where so many sing without cease \/ work without halt \/ shoulder without shudder \/ to bring the Feather of Justice to every \/ bell tower, biome \u0026amp; blade of grass \/ in Graceful America.”\nLong may Sanders sing our common song, and long may his America “dwell in peace, freedom \u0026amp; equality \/ out on its spiraling arm \/ in the Milky Way.”","brand":"David R.
