Overview

The acclaimed poet finds many-hued complexity within America's divided black-and-white society in this 2012 National Poetry Series–winning collection.
American attitudes and perceptions—of tragedies, major events, each other—are often segregated into two camps by a politicized, racially divided "Color Line." But in this award-winning poetry collection, Ed Pavlic explores the nonlinear aspects of our cultural divide. Where, he asks, is the Color Line in the mind, in the body, between bodies, between human beings?
In daring prose poems and powerful free verse, Pavlic tracks American characters through situations both mundane and momentous. He exposes the many textures of this social, historical world as it seeps into the private dimensions of our lives. The resulting poems are intense, intimate, and psychologically probing, making Visiting Hours at the Color Line a poetic tour de force.
