Bum Rush the Page, is a groundbreaking collection, capturing the best new work from the poets who have brought fresh energy, life, and relevance to American poetry.,â€œHere is a democratic orchestration of voices and visions, poets of all ages, ethnicities, and geographic locations coming together to create a dialogue and to jamâ€“not slam. This is our mouth on paper, our hearts on our sleeves, our refusal to shut up and swallow our silence. These poems are tough, honest, astute, perceptive, lyrical, blunt, sad, funny, heartbreaking, and true. They shout, they curse, they whisper, and sing. But most of all, they tell it like it is.â€ ,â€“Tony Medina, from the Introduction
