How today's unjust global order is shaped by uncertain expert knowledge—and how to fix it A World of Struggle reveals the role of expert knowledge in our political and economic life. As politicians, citizens, and experts engage one another on a technocratic terrain of irresolvable argument and uncertain knowledge, a world of astonishing inequality and injustice is born.

HOUSE OF DECEMBER Including Selections from Words, And There Are Five Seasons and Interlude Seven magnificent new poems and selections from two previously published collections available only in hard-to-obtain privately printed editions comprise Richard David Kennedy's HOUSE OF DECEMBER. Its author obviously sees "things clearly ...and whole," to quote E. M.

The poems on physical nature, fleshly and spiritual love, the creative act, and time, all echo Kennedy's concern with the sanctity of the individual and the presence of the godhead in each and every one. The poet's technical virtuosity adds further complexity and density to his profound ideas. He makes us see things not only clearly and whole, but differently than before, the mark of an artist of the first rank. HARDCOVER EDITION
The President of Earth gathers the best and most exciting of Kennedy's poetryfrom the mid-80s to the present day.
With a new Afterword, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Kennedy reveals how the First World War's legacy of Wilsonian idealism is reflected today in President George W. Bush's National Security Strategy.
David Kennedy's new collection takes us on remarkable journeys. From Korea to Poland and beyond, from deeply affecting elegies to comic constitutionals through culture, The Roads ranges far and wide. In its pages, we meet poets, painters, vampires and giant red horses, and Kennedy shows us poetry as ways of doing things and places we can go.
