Blind Spot

Angry at how her grandmother erased the past, ‘traded our circle for a place in line, ’ Susan Eisenberg, in these plain-spoken, not-for-the-faint-of-heart poems, resists the historical amnesia and denial American culture propagates. Funny, harrowing, loving, fierce, political, personal–she aims for the blind spot, for what we can’t see; connects the ‘60s to the present, and, in the act of honest remembering, reminds us who we are.–Elenor Wilner, author of The Girl with Bees in Her Hair
