From the perspective of a teacher in a youth detention center, these hard-hitting poems have a unique blend of dark humor and realism.
In a composition of both compassion for America's unheard voices and contempt for the systems' unjustness, American Treasure chronicles McDonough's personal place within the nation. She considers her work with incarcerated students, her privilege, her womanhood, and the connection she shares with others. Through this exploration, McDonough writes with care about the possibility of a people in a country built on cruelty.
Poems prod, ache, question, and laugh, as they tap into the complexity of a modern nation full of contempt for the vile systems woven into the American fabric, while also celebrating those who live in spite of them.
