George Washington, Adam Fitzgerald's second collection of poems, sets out to estrange American history through the unreliable lenses of autobiography and technology. Suffused with profound loss and treacherous nostalgia for a bygone era of unfettered consumerism, this is also poetry made eerily familiar. Reflecting the 1990s New Jersey suburbia of the poet's youth, Fitzgerald's new book performs a psychological autopsy on our national lust for safety and comfort amid the "white noise" of daily living.
