Don'T Let Me Be Lonely Av Claudia Rankine

<p><b>The award-winning poet''s powerful exploration of an America ever more unable to process its own toxins</b><br><br>Here, available for the first time in the UK, is the book in which Claudia Rankine first developed the ''American Lyric'' form which makes her Forward Prize-winning collection <i>Citizen</i> so distinctive: an original combination of poetry, lyric essay, photography and visual art, virtuosically deployed. <i>Don''t Let Me Be Lonely</i> is Rankine''s meditation on the self bewildered by race riots, terrorism, medicated depression and television''s ubiquitous influence. Written in the years after 9/11, this is an unflinching and deeply felt meditation on life and death in a nation in flux.</p>
