Complex America contains more than 30 articles clarifying America's true history in a way that has not been presented to the public in our time. A thought-provoking, eye-opening read. Readers will ask themselves, "why didn't I know that?" This non-fiction history includes corrupt politics and the necessary religious aspects inseparable from our American fabric. There has been much chatter about how Christians should stay out of politics-well, the entirety of The Bible is a sociopolitical history. When Jesus Christ stood silent in front of the Pharisees in their court of justice, he acted politically defiant in silence. Where do you think our right to remain silent comes from in our court of law? It is time for Christians to be involved pro-actively. Stop shying away from politics and religion, especially when you are freely discussing it tonight at the dinner table.

A tour de force, Aaron Smith’s fourth collection of poetry, The Book of Daniel, resists the easy satisfactions of Beauty while managing the contemporary entanglements of art, sex, and grief. Part pop-thriller, part queer rage, and part mourning, these poems depict not only the complications of representation in the age of social media but a critique of identity. Taking on subjects as diverse as the literary canon, his mother’s incurable cancer diagnosis, gay bashing, celebrity gossip, bigotry, violence on TV, and Alexander McQueen’s suicide, Smith proves that the confessional lyric is not dead. In tangents as wild as they are reigned, with his characteristic blend of directness, vulnerability and humor, these poems take on the world as it is, a world we love even as it resists all intimacy.
