Claude Mayers joins the fearless ranks of Yevtushenko, Neruda, Pasolini, among others, daring to bear Poetry into the realm of Politics.
Allan Weisbecker’s Review
In a world gone intellectually and morally berserk, Claude Mayers, with his startling and sometimes outrageous word-play, deconstructs and lampoons but above all perceives that which the rest of us miss, telling us, no, shouting at us: Look here! Isn’t this sad/joyous/ridiculous/beautiful/oddball/fun? — often in the same poem… or stanza… or turn of a word. Mayers sees and above all cares, and seeks that we should as well.
Avram Chetron’s Review
These poems document life in the madhouse that has gripped the world since that fateful November hijacking of civilization as we knew it. Buckle your seatbelts, it’s quite a ride!
Dr. Andrew Harris’ Review
Mayers’ poems ring true in ways that discomfort us, which we must come to understand in order to take appropriate action. Here’s hoping that his words assist in unlocking the divisions and fears which have gripped our country over these past 2 years.
Jerry Nussbaum PhD’s Review
Mayers’ poetry, filled with passion and anger, will resonate with those who are in despair for the state of our nation brought upon by the current disgraceful–and possibly treasonous–president and his administration.
Dr. Joanna Komoska’s Review
Claude Mayer’s poetry directs us to courage in the face of life’s adversities, whether facing the waves or interpersonal challenges, it lifts us to consider nature and the universe with fresh eyes.
