Set amidst America's uneven economic recovery, Amarylis Douglas provides a poetry of witness to the epidemic of homelessness.
These poems are individual and unforgettable portraits of Americans we don't want to see, and for whom the word recovery hasn't applied.
Amarylis Douglas is originally from the Berkshires, in western Massachusetts.
She has lived for forty years on the island of Martha's Vineyard, where she brought up her three children and taught.
