Poetry.
THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER spans the 15-year arc from 9/11 to 11/9, concluding with a poem based on voices overheard the night of Trump's election by poet Michael Ruby , a journalist who has covered U.
politics for decades.
Ruby began the book in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, when he saw people freely using U.
national symbols for their own political purposes.
He decided to do the same thing for poetic purposes.
Every poem in the book, which is dedicated to Jasp.
