The Fight Across the River: [a meditation on war]

"The Fight Across the River is right up there with the great anti-war poems in American literature" (V. B. Price). In this poetic work, Anne Valley-Fox combs through humankind's history to wrestle with our propensity for fighting each other. She digs back to our origins as a species and weaves through to today, while always centering on the Atomic Age: the most iconic of our warlike aspirations. The Fight Across the River plucks a chorus of voices from historical documents and creative works to meditate upon war and our own roles in choosing a different path.
