American Compass, Bill Meissners fourth book of poetry, is a collection that steers the reader on a varied, memorable journey down the American highway. Like the four points of a compass, each of the book's four sections has a distinct direction. 'First Corners' features poems about childhood and the realizations of early adulthood. 'Breaking Dreams' illuminates the myths and realities of popular American icons, with portraits of James Dean, Thomas Edison, Elvis Presley, and Joe DiMaggio. The baseball poems in 'Taking the Curve' become subtle metaphors for the game of life. In the 'Soul Highway' poems, the author concludes the book with a series of poignant personal experiences that will leave the reader thinking more deeply about his or her life.American Compass is a personal comment on growing up in America as well as a political comment on the state of American culture, with its heroes and everyday people, its hopes and failures, its winners and losers.
