Days of Destruction is a journey through some of the modern horrors that assault our senses in the passionate search for better understanding of our tormented world. The poems explore volatile international issues, the outrages of social abuses and personal anguish, as part of the ongoing events that wear down our tolerance, compassion and will to resist injustice... "I loved it. It was amazing writing. Very edgy and so powerful." - Gloria Mindock, Cervena Barva Press

5.0 out of 5 stars
Well worth the consideration for social issues poetry readers,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Days Of Destruction: Selected Poems (Paperback)
The world is about more than the joy of life and nature. "Days of Destruction" is a collection of poems about the current problems of the world, including critical issues that affect the culture of America, America's work abroad, and the suffering so many face. "Days of Destruction" is well worth the consideration for social issues poetry readers. "Rock Star": After our feeling for the rock stars fades,/where do they go when they are forgotten?/The strumming, stomping, smashed guitars,/the sweat, hot lights, torn clothes/are finally ended./After that there is no message.
