These poems bear witness to various atrocities at large and domestically, but also to the role that liberal Democratic ideology plays in the atrocities of genocide and cultural imperialism. Poets like Dan Featherston go a long way toward making the reader aware of the artifice of politics and the poetics of ideology. In this way, poets can be more than spectators. Featherston is certainly more than a spectator. It is his lyric vision and the communitarian commitment of his collection that reminds the reader that poetry is, in fact, a public act. —Richard Deming
