Description: Bobbi Katz has seamlessly woven together sixty-five original first-person poems -- in distinctly individual voices -- that eloquently articulate three centuries of the American experience. The poems spring from the hearts, fears, and dreams of men, women, and children -- famous Americans, ordinary Americans, the very first Americans, the first European settlers, the westward pioneers, gold miners, suffragists, assembly-line workers, immigrants, civil rights activists, peace marchers, and a pensive teenager staring at the dawn of Year 2000. Here is a consummate blend of poetry and history, highlighted by six full-color multi-media collages by Nina Crews and featuring an afterword, a time line, and an annotated bibliography.
