Censored America presents a shocking and outrageous perspective of America told in short but powerful poetic passages. It lures the reader with more than 150 separate prose poems about the environment, politics, human rights, military, media, education, health, religion, and business.
The poems are based on issues raised by investigative journalists over the past 25 years and extensive research by Project Censored, the nation's longest running news media research project. They tell the stories the nation's politicians didn't want you to know about and the nation's media failed to tell you about.
The American Journalism Review cited Project Censored as "A distant early warning system for society's problems." Censored America: An Epic Prose Poem sounds the alarm on what is going wrong with our society. It presents stark testimony to the failure of our news media.
This is a new and gripping revelation of how the mass media failed to cover the issues that concern many of us -- poverty, hunger, pollution, medical care, homelessness, violence, and political, corporate, and military malfeasance.
Individually these prose poems are disturbing; collectively they are outrageous.
