Blending lyric and narrative modes the dominant strands of 'American Anthem' focus on the tragedies, both personal and national, of the opioid epidemic and its devastating effects of addiction and of gun violence in America where the author grew up. This is an urgent, necessary book, a severe indictment of the mammoth pharmaceutical companies and of the merchants and pro-ponents of arms. Kelly Michels has heeded Robert Lowell's injunction to 'say what happened' and her report is fashioned in a series of remarkable poems.
