Some Inconvenient Poems
Miles Liss
Death of Workers Whilst Building Skyscrapers Publishing, 2023
Some Inconvenient Poems is a rant, a cry, a warning. It’s a portrait of an America consumed by its own depravity. The speaker in this collection bears witness to the metamorphosis of a democracy into a country on the brink of civil war. - Publisher
