Written by a distinguished American poet who captures the full spirit of the meaning of democracy.
Highly recommended for those who are interested in the fundamentals of a truly democratic society as seen through the creative and sensitive eyes of a poet and biographer.
it is an idealistic presentation of what democracy could be, an antidote to the cynical and manipulative nature of present political behaviour.
