Poems From the Heart of America: Letters to a Waking Nation

Mary Scott

The Poem That Is America is a powerful and lyrical portrait of a nation still in the making. Through fifty evocative poems and two final reflections, Mary Scott captures the soul of America in all its complexity-its hope and heartbreak, contradictions and courage, scars and songs.

Structured in five thematic parts-Where We Come From, Letters to a Waking Nation, The Quiet Pulse, What We Carry, and Becoming Again-this collection reads like a series of letters, confessions, and prayers to a country learning to find itself again. From dusty backroads to busy street corners, from coal towns to borderlands, each poem invites the reader to sit with the truth, reckon with the past, and imagine a gentler, more united future.

This is not just a book of poetry. It's a reflection of a shared story-one written by all of us, every day. In the end, The Poem That Is America reminds us that though the verses may be imperfect, the poem is still ours to write.
