“Blood Dazzler is Patricia Smith's impassioned lyric chronicle of a beloved city in peril, a city whose people were left to die before us all, a people who were the heart of our country and lifeblood of our culture. After rising water, winds and abandonment, after our failure and neglect, comes this symphony of utterance from the ruins: many-voiced, poignant, sorrowful and fierce. This is poetry taking the full measure of its task.” PeopleHeartCountryDiesCultureLeftWaterCitiesBloodWindTasksOur CountryRuinsBelovedRisingNeglectFiercePerilAbandonmentSymphonyUtterancePoignantChroniclesSorrowfulImpassioned Author:Carolyn Forche
