The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The poems of A Moth Collection converse with Charles Darwin, Tina Turner, Sylvia Plath, Sacagawea, Walt Whitman, Kendrick Lamar, and the author’s family members who survived World War II in the Philippines.
