DESCRIPTION:Reading &\; Discussion with Mary Clare
\;
Cultural psychologist Mary M. Clare hit the highways to survey Americans of all ages and backgrounds for their thoughts on the state of the country. Beginning with the prompt\, “What does change mean to you?” this book is a journey to listen to the opinions and beliefs that stretch across a nation. Clare scribes with the hope of opening a door for dialogue across our differences\, allowing each of her subjects the space to tell their stories. Each one proves compelling in itself\, while showing that the concept of change is a shared hallmark of American identity.
In a time of manic politics and the acute distortion of democracy\, this book points back at us - the people of the United States. These one hundred voices call for the radical act of listening to one another. Here is a book that arises directly from the cultural zeitgeist to guide the reclaiming of democracy.

The poems transcend the dark streets of New York City\, and the sharp sting of their loneliness\, through an unyielding commitment to transformation. As the title poem suggests\, the only place to truly see the stars is from the darkest\, lowest vantage point. And this book\, with its heartfelt sentiments and careful verse\, anchors the reader to the ground with a clear view of the sky. I See The Stars is a search for light in the pervading gloom of obscurity.
