Heart X-Rays: A Modern Epic Poem

A 21st-century beat epic poem that ranges across landscapes and voices, with appearances by Banksy, Pussy Riot, hip-hop, the down and out, the up and coming, heartbreak and joybreak, while exploring the mystery we call the human heart. A collaborative work between two poets and working-class activists, Heart x-rays is a poetic memory of today written in the alphabet of a future.
