Shut Up Shut Down
Summary
In the grand, narrative tradition of Gwendolyn Brooks and Edward Sanders, this riveting collection of poetic plays and photo-documentary poems exposes the human cost of corporate greed and gives voice to the growing crisis faced in communities across America. “The several long poems that make up this book build into each other with devastating force and understatement, breaking poetic boundaries, regenerating the rich tradition of working-class literature.”—Adrienne Rich Mark Nowak is the author of the critically acclaimed debut book of poems Revenants , the editor of Cross Cultural Poetics and the co-editor of Visit Teepee Native Writings After the Detours . He grew up in Buffalo, New York and lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he is active in the labor movement.
