Crass Casualties, Paperback

Anthony G. Amsterdam, arguably the great civil rights attorney of our time, has written a collection of poems described by one reviewer as "fearlessly truthful and ferociously intelligent" offering "insights wide and deep that cross time and illuminate a vast array of subjects," from social justice to capital punishment to the "universal personal aesthetics that bind us to each other." The sheer range of Amsterdam's poetry is a revelation of what is possible in the realm of poetry. Amsterdam speaks with eloquent authority on matters central to justice and injustice in our time and indeed in any time. Crass Casualties is a book for the ages.
