The demise of American democracy accompanied by the militarized ascent of Americanization is a big drag for everyone. The Big Melt maps both in the spectacle of the 2004 US presidential election. The unmitigated travesties buttressing the deep structure of the Bush-Cheney regime are illuminated with great zeal. The proletariat’s fight against crime is on.

The Big Melt President of the United Hearts Poetry PS3577 5.5 x 8, 76 pages What the critics are saying: “Touchdown POEMS are BARGAINS Sit up and listen IDIOT, if you can bear it.” -- Hannah Weiner “The only writers brave enough to face the bloodthirsty crowd which has made the name of America a stench in the nostrils of decent men.” -- Studs Terkel “President of the United Hearts has always pushed me over the cliff.” -- bell hooks “The Big Melt, with a wit that is certainly a model for all composition, contains a handful of poems that are weak not only in structure but in diction that gives real beauty to poetry. Let us condemn these poems therefore, by saying that the President’s soft head is no match for the razor sharp blade of its heart.” -- Hélène Cixous “This is the anti-war poem I’ve been waiting for!” -- Yul Brynner “An election dispatch, The Big Melt is the wildest mix of unadulterated expressionism and analysis I’ve encountered. Its message is a beacon of hope in an exceedingly dark time.” -- Michael Moore “As usual a superb book.” -- Ed Dorn
