Bringing Up an Extraordinary Son in an Ordinary World: Raising Blaze by Debra Ginsberg, her title is nothing but true for her son, Blaze.

poem, “America,” Allen Ginsberg discusses the effects of long-term discrimination and prejudice against minority groups in America through the contrast of nonsensical circumlocutions and more concise glimpses of reality.
