The success of American Song insures interest in this new volume from a promising young poet. This is quite different -- and bespeaks disillusionment, a certain amount of cynicism, definitely a swing to the Left:- the theme, throughout, variations on ""America, I hate you so because I love you so."" A plea for a future where ""every worker has the right to work, Where no man takes too much from those who have Too little, no man hunger, no man want, The simple, actual demands of living, Clothing, a house and fuel against the cold.
