American Stories: A collection of illustrated poems

by Jon Fielding

Overview

American Stories is a series of short poems about life in a changing America. 

Melancholic stories, sketched out over wandering feelings of despair and longing, meandering through a deep changing political and social landscape.

Capturing themes from key moments in contemporary American culture, alongside stories of frustration and despair, inspired by more recent events. The selection of poems within explores feelings drawn out in everyday America, from a nation at times left in despair, let down by so-called leaders, and left uncertain about its future, with many questioning its place in the world today.

We hope and we pray in the American way. It’s only poetry they say…
