Jared Carter’s Book

Its sixteen narrative poems recount incidents in America’s history from the Revolution to the present, with cameo appearances by Mother Ann Lee, Emily Dickinson, Scott Joplin, and Bix Beiderbecke.
To read sample poems from the book, go to “Coxey’s Army,” “Spirea,” or “Jesus Walking on the Water.”
