3Q, 3P This compilation of poetry supposedly "makes a statement about life in America" but really it is more about life in general. A few poems do touch on American holidays and politics, but overall the emotions and experiences found in the themes of plants, animals, sports, suicide, war, family, love, and more are experienced by all people regardless of country of origin. Although the poems are organized by theme, the lack of headings for the different sections make it difficult for readers to pinpoint the poems of interest.
