Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-05 00:00:00 Michael Azzarello The crack in the tea-cup opens A lane to the land of the dead. Does anyone else find an unspoken trepidation in these early days of 2020? Perhaps the menace is in my mind, just another projection as I unconsciously weary of another installment of sameness? That might be harsh, though the warbled music from the other room isn't clear. I have held on to Auden so far. It is beyond me to expect another Fall of Madrid, an Anschluss but we collectively whistled as the glaciers tumbled and a mad landgrab for food security appears to be the song of the summer even as the drones carbonized wedding parties and Russian munitions levelled hospitals, even as the water revolted and the aquifers screamed. No, I didn't have time for that. Auden makes me gasp and more often chuckle. I need that, just as I do driving by a wind farm--even if the existence of such doesn't mean anything in lieu of a burning age which will halt our strutting, perhaps permanently.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-12-30 00:00:00 Pankrati Pankrati His poetry gives me goosebumps <3 'I'll love you, dear, I'll love you Till China and Africa meet, And the river jumps over the mountain And the salmon sing in the street, 'I'll love you till the ocean Is folded and hung up to dry And the seven stars go squawking Like geese about the sky.
