Brotherly Love

A Poem About William Penn

BY DANIEL HOFFMAN
A long poem which evokes William Penn's luminous vision of America and shows what has become of it as the intractable conflicts of our history-struggles over land, keeping faith with the Indians, the uses and abuses of power-threaten Penn's ideal. "Though grounded firmly in historical fact, [this poem] is very original in conception and quite effectively expresses the dreams and despairs of those who lived this history as well as our own contemporary need to understand the past as 'we clatter down the rigid rails into the future.'" - Library Journal.
