Poetry Basket’s July 2011 reading — Turning Away From Lies — contains a diversity of poems that express the price paid to bring the United States into being. The cost to the native peoples of North America, To its natural systems, To the people who came here in chains, To those who cross our borders desperately seeking work, and To all of us struggling today to come to terms with a nation that continues to cause harm to its own and to people around the world. It features the work of contemporary American poet, Tony Hoagland.
