As a collection of politically engaged poetry for the 21st century, Nude Descending an Empire develops the lyrical voice of a citizen-poet speaking to the urgency of our contemporary moment, especially its ecological crisis. This is a book that brings all the supposed sensitivity of poetry into contact with the world we actually live in - with all its crises, madness, and modernity - and insists that we feel it all.
