Broadside, printed in four colors. Composed in immediate response to the War in Iraq, Hamill's poem criticizes the rhetoric of national glory and alien threat that veils the violence of neoliberal and capitalist interests. Hagner sets the poem in dramatic typography, exploring the expansiveness of written language in an attempt to encompass the emotion of Hamill's verses. Printed on handmade paper. Folded in sixths. Fine. (24 by 36 in.; 610x914 mm).
