The title poem, in a young schoolteacher's voice, evokes the lessons that children (\"Not of course here\") learn amid violence and hatred, \"when the whole town flinches \/ blood on the undersole thickening to glass.\" \"Usonian Journals 2000\" intercuts faces and conversations, building to a dystopic\/utopic vision. Throughout these fierce and musical poems, Rich traces the imprint of a public crisis on individual experience: personal lives bent by collective realities, language itself held to account.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856083484960,"sku":"NEW0393327558","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71JaD_OlXRL.jpg?v=1781546509","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-school-among-the-ruins-poems-2000-2004-0393327558","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
