the 40th book of poetry by George Wallace
This is the poetry of a country born to be wild and a heart rapacious and spellbound; writing that is modern, mindful and as old as the native cornstalks
-THURSTON MOORE, SONIC YOUTH
George Wallace is a time traveler, a shape-shifter, a painter in words whose palette is the history of human struggle and aspiration. His poetry is a river running through generations of mothers and soldiers, migrants and lovers, factory workers and freedom fighters; a river mixing dark earth, temple dust, broken bones and drinking pots, black coffee and corn meal, with tears of seawater and the blood of true believers. Think Lorca in the late night barrooms of America with jazz on the jukebox and seduction on the dance floor, or Whitman in the trenches of world revolutions; from palace to prison and everywhere between George Wallace writes both inside and outside the walls, a man of many perspectives, singing the great soul story of our collective heart.-Carl Watson
George Wallace's latest collection, Resurrection Song, is a compendium of all his strengths as poet: his acceptance of risk, scorn for pretense, hatred of sham, an expectation of the triumph of love, and a passion for life lived wondrously to the hilt. An absolutely necessary collection.
-Richard Modiano, Director Emeritus Beyond Baroque Literary/Arts Center
An orgy. An explosion. A goddamn feast. Poetry that will stand the test of time. Best collection of poems I've read so far in 2023.
-JOHN SWEET, FIRST LUMMOX POETRY PRIZE
A deeply moving and powerful collection with an electric vocabulary.-Ellyn Maybe
Reminds us of what poetry was always hoped to be, but forgotten along the way.-Roger Aplon
