About the Book
My America is a poem that examines the full range of human experience and emotion in the context of everyday places and images. From urban to rural, from the coasts to the plains, the stories are of ordinary people, their loves, their fears, and their dreams. It is "Winesburg, Ohio" and "On The Road", rolled up in one audacious and unforgettable journey.
