"Rich people learn the humanities; you didn't. . . . It is generally accepted in America that the liberal arts and humanities in particular belong to the elite. I think you're the elite." In this groundbreaking work, Shorris examines the nature of poverty in America today. Why are people poor, and why do they stay poor? Shorris argues that they lack politics, or the ability to participate fully in the public world; knowing only the immediacy and oppression of force, the poor remain trapped and isolated. To test his theory, Shorris creates an experimental school teaching the humanities to poor people, giving them the means to reflect and negotiate rather than react. The results are nothing short of astonishing. Originally published in hardcover under the title New American Blues.Binding Type: Paperback

Lovely
Ring Size: 6.25
The only word for this ring is "lovely." It took a long time to get to me as I ordered it January 30, 2026 and it arrived the third week of February but to be honest, it was worth waiting for.

Perfect fit, both literally and figuratively.
Perfect fit (after I got my ring size correct!) and looks great next to my large engagement ring. Doesn't take away from the engagement ring, but enhances it with the simple, but delicate two-tone white and yellow gold design,

Unremarkable
Ring Size: 7
The photos were expertly taken for sure. The ring is nice, decent quality, 14k as advertised but the design and stones are less than exciting. It’s nice, that’s about the best I can give it.
