Powerfully reckoning with history, this collection explores what it means to be a white citizen in the years following the Civil Rights movement. Poems take us into classrooms resonant with the dream of Martin Luther King, but also into Confederate war trenches in Richmond, Virginia, a city still worshipping its past. How does a young woman define herself in this environment, especially after the sudden loss of the father who may have guided her? From confusion and contradictions emerges a voice that challenges easy answers, finds the "dirt of heritage" in her family tree, but also imagines the perspectives of early Americans including Abraham Lincoln. In an ongoing quest for truth, poems find insight and unexpected moments of beauty.
