Living In Babylon

Living in Babylon: Poems and Performances, Including "What Do You Believe In?"Esther Iverem's new collection of poems is a wide-ranging meditation that proves the adage that the personal is political, and the political is profoundly personal. As an active member of DC Poets Against the War, she represents a new generation of poets actively engaged in speaking truth to power in a new era of global empire. Living in Babylon combines the popularity of spoken word with the serious reflection and composition required for the times.
