American Amnesiac by Diane Raptosh
Following the manic journey of a man stripped of memory, American Amnesiac confronts the complexities of being American in an age of corruption, corporations, and global conflict. Straddling confession and prophesy, history and myth, intimacy and anonymity, this award-winning collection of poems offers a riveting meditation on a distinctly American condition. With her consummate craft, Diane Raptosh has given us a collection of stunning, timely, and unforgettable poems.
Diane Raptosh’s fourth book of poetry, American Amnesiac, (Etruscan Press) was longlisted for the 2013 National Book Award and was a finalist for the Housatonic Book Award.
