By one of America's most adventurous poets--Peace moves just beyond outrage and anger to bring the reader to revelations and shifts of consciousness, to possible visions and sightings in the shattered yards of the global dream|

Inspired by 'the plot genie' - a plot-generating device created in the 1930s that used numerical games of chance to divine character traits and plot points - this book-length poem discusses the ways in which people are re-created, inspired, aroused, and persuaded by the power of the stories that they listen to and share.
