Poetry. "Maggie Jaffe's poems have a rare power and beauty. She writes about Mayakovsky, Van Gogh, Kafka, Jean Seberg, and other extraordinary figures of our time, also about art and Fascism and Steve Biko, but never in a predictably political way, always in a way that astonishes us and that says something profound about the world we live in" --Howard Zinn. "Jaffe manages to infuse these poems and the people about whom she writes with grace and dignity and beauty. At once, she offers a vision of humanity at its worst and at its best. The juxtaposition is disturbingly effective" --W. D. Ehrhart.
