Defiance Til Death

"Defiance Til Death" is a literary grenade lobbed into the heart of American hypocrisy. Written in the unapologetic voice of Robert L. Arnold, a Southern poet, this collection of essays, poems, and polemics rips through the facade of patriotism, capitalism, and sanitized history to expose the raw, furious truth of a nation at war with itself.

From the collapsing myth of the American Dream to the weaponization of Jesus, from the blood-stained hands of gun lobby puppets to the hollow theater of modern politics, Arnold spares no one. He writes with the fire of a man raised on gospel and gravel, who knows the smell of riverbank mud and the sting of generational betrayal. His voice is that of the working class radical … razor-sharp, heartbreakingly poetic, and absolutely done with polite resistance.
