America's Future: poetry and prose in response to tomorrow features 164 bold, thought-provoking writers including an opening speech, published here for the first time, by Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland; poetry by master poet E. Ethelbert Miller in collaboration with Miho Kinnas, essays by Marvin Kalb and Bethanne Patrick, and short stories by Mary Kay Zuravleff, Kathleen Wheaton, and more. The anthology arrives at an urgent moment in our nation's history, when many are anxiously questioning: What are the possibilities for the future? Some pieces turn to our past, reckoning with the wounds we still carry in today's scars before questioning the future. Others turn their gaze forward, imagining the ways hope and reinvention can carve new paths.
