Turbulence

En savoir plus sur le livre

In Turbulence , poet and non-fiction author Tony Reevy looks at "family" in the United States through the lens of one family and its members' collective experiences over the last fifty years. The poems in the book explore major paradoxes about the U.S.-a love of nature combined with environmental destruction; a democracy that for years denied the rights of millions; a wealthy country that offers little or no assistance for many of its people-and how they affect one extended family. Most importantly, Turbulence asks how families cope with such unexpected events as the death of a child, or a young mother or father-tragedies that our society largely chooses to ignore.
