Review Excerpt:

[Ferlinghetti] tackles more material than ever in this first volume of verse since How to Paint Sunlight (2001). Twelve untitled sections ... seek, and in part arrive at, an inclusive history of America, from the startings out of its first poets to the hope and peril of the early 1960s.
