Revolutions Among Us
Moving from the elegiac to the cinematic to the essayistic, the poems in Revolutions Among Us draw on the many forms the past can take, as personal history diverges from collective memory. Newton's childhood in a psychotherapy cult in New York informs the book's struggles with belief and ideology, indoctrination and control, questioning our ability to interpret the world around us or to disentangle our thoughts and desires from those of others.
