Theater of War: The Plot Against the American Mind - Softcover

Nicholas Powers is an English graduate student at City University of New York. Our tour guide at African Meeting House, the first Black church in the Northeast, where he taught fugitive slave history and tied it to globalization sweat shop horror. Enjoyed minor celebrity status there, moved to New York, began teaching in September 2001, after the Event work in shadow of Twin Towers. Breathed in asbestos and ash at his job at Borough Manhattan Community College. Now walks around trying to catch the ghosts of people falling and bury them in poetry to let them rest. Is writing dissertation on Middle Passage and a Novella. Wants to make a living by writing so that writing will let him live.

A collection of socialist, surrealist poetry and prose, Theater of War parodies the rhetoric of the U.S. National Security Strategy Report, exposing the fascist machinations of the Bush administration. Presented with unforgiving humor, disjunctive syntax, and subversive wordplay, Theater of War removes the earplugs that "defend" us from dissent.
