Birds of America by Lorrie Moore
This is a collection of poems from a master of the poetic monologue. A disillusioned Irish nun moves to America, meets Elvis, and rediscovers her faith. An amputee goes on a strange journey during a hurricane. Each of the speakers in Ai's collection has a uniquely American story to tell.
