Thoughts and Prayers

By Alissa Quart

Book Overview

"You walk into Thoughts and Prayers like it's a familiar pop cultural fun house-then you get drawn into one of the mirrors and find you're actually deep in someplace very real: fleshy, frightening, full of anguished intelligence and bitter fun."
--Mary Gaitskill

Thoughts and Prayers is a beautiful and startling volume of poetry about our political existence. With both humor and luminosity, it gets at the personal and collective emotional experience of American public life, from the 1970s to the 1990s Democrats, through the collapse of the news industry, to the burlesque Trump era.
