The ultimate subject of Maya C. Popa's stunning debut collection is violence. American Faith begins with its manifestation in our country: a destructive administration, a history of cruelty and extermination, and a love of firearms. The violence naturally extends to the personal. What for some is routine can feel like an assault: a TSA agent wipes down a bra tucked in a traveler's suitcase, adding, ...prettiest terrorist I've seen all day. Tentatively, the title poem casts light on the unrevealed future, a solution that includes faith: ...the days, impatient, fresh beasts, appeal to me--/ You are here. You must believe in something.
