Generations: Lullaby with Incendiary Device, the Nazi Patrol, and How It Is That We

In Etruscan's third Tribus, we present work by poets of three generations: William Heyen, H.L. Hix, and Dante Di Stefano. Lullaby with Incendiary Device is deeply immered in a soon-to-be-realized future, in which Di Stefano's daughter faces an array of 21st century challenges. For the last half-century, William Heyen's poetry has explored world history, from Nature, to Native Americans, to the Holocaust and the atom bomb, the Iraq Wars, to the British Royals. In this book, Heyen presents another entry into his Holocaust opus, The Nazi Patrol. H.L. Hix's work is also inextricably involved with global issues as seen in a recent collection, American Anger, which explores the psychology of rage underneath recent political turmoil, yet it also turns inward, creating new forms to join the world and the inner life. This theme is most prominent here, in How It Is That We.
