Poetry. Published in the Hilary Tham Capital Collection, Browning explores the meaning of political activism and personal responsiblity in a time of war, while mapping the capital city--its changes, its history, its beautiful variety. Martin Espada said: "This poet has the courage to say what needs to be said, from the personal to the political (and often the two are intertwined). Sarah Browning takes on the hard questions--war, race, urban poverty--and never loses her cool. Her voice is tough and funny and smart.
