In language wild and restrained, opulent and precise, these sonnets make something lasting, even beautiful, from tragedy--personal and national.

Diane Raptosh's collection of sonnets, I Eric America, combines elements of family trauma (her brother Eric's survival of a plane crash and subsequent paraplegia) with disturbances on the national stage. Equal parts origin story, myth, and song, the book unfolds from the premise that America is the nation-expression of / a severely traumatized person. Throughout their singing, the poems seek to heal, transmute and transform.
