Beschreibung
Winner of the 2019 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry PrizeThe Tenant of Fire is about Queens, NY its history, public and personal, real and imagined. Many of the people who populate this book Irish Catholics, Italian-Americans were once considered ethnic but now fall wholly under the banner of white. And from their anxieties a man like Donald Trump emerges. Born and raised in Queens, Trump is both the product and purveyor of a localized nativist politic.The young white speaker of these poems works to record his parents and neighbors , both white and of color, and his own attempts at navigating a shifting landscape. In poems on the homecoming of Vietnam vets, or the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, or the firebombing of Malcolm X s house, The Tenant of Fire explores how and why the plurality of a place like Queens, where now nearly two hundred languages are spoken, is viewed as a threat to national security.
