In one of the most eloquent and sustained depictions of psychological trauma ever committed to poetry in the English language, The Road of Glass chronicles one year in the life of Benjamin Rose from Yom Kippur 2020 to December 2021. Written at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic through the last days of the Trump Administration and the collapse of the American mission in Afghanistan, The Road Of Glass is Rose's attempt to find peace within himself after a lifetime of mental illness in a world gone mad. From the fiery antifascism of Elegy Of The Mayfire and Sons Of The Axe to the epic romance of Royal Blue and Kabul, the poem is a stark and unsanitized depiction of how man driven to a state of utmost desperation may find within himself the strength to reject hatred and despair. At once epic and observational, personal and political, The Road Of Glass is a testament to the transformative power of poetry to name and alleviate human suffering.
