This Land, These People: The 50* States: *(Plus Washington D.C.): New and Selected Poems

"'Traveling the land,' poet Peter Neil Carroll observes 'restless people, pulled or pushed, going places they've lost or found, both grieving and hopeful, looking for something. Newcomers settle in all states, revealing tensions both indoors and out, some kept quiet by custom, some easily inflamed by rapid, unwanted change.' His poetry encourages others with this message: 'Keep your eyes open. Be surprised. Strangers live everywhere. So do neighbors'"
