Kill the Gun / Peace is a Worldwide War

In this sobering sequel to his first poetic volume, Richard Lee Granvold presents a thundering sermon railing against the ongoing epidemic of gun violence in America. Rooted in the chaos of the Trump era, Granvold trains his lyrical eye on the forest fires sweeping over his home state of Oregon, the eruption of violent protests and riotssome just, and others less soand the spiritual decay of a country suffering bitter political strife. With his signature songlike verses, Granvold writes a pained call to action to hark to America's better angels while there's still time.
