About this ebook
Poetry as a Bloodless Revolution.
In a land of hypocrisy, hatred, and violence, there are no easy answers. Jessica Minster's Bourgeois Wasteland offers poems that embrace this difficulty and serve as a critical eye and a voice calling for peace and love.
Warning: My Conservative father hates these poems.
