More DescriptionEdited by Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist and author John A. Valenti 3rd and former Nassau County Poet Laureate Evelyn Kandel, this collection includes their work and the work of a group of inspiring amateur poets: Hattie Abbey, Hank Bjorklund, Victoria Bjorklund, Lila Edelkind, John Lange, George Pafitis, Gladys Thompson Roth, Sheila Saferstein, George Strausman, Susan Aster Wallman and Judith Zilberstein. This amazing collection of poets met in a class taught by Kandel, a former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant who appeared on a 1952 U.S. Postage Stamp featuring "Women in Our Armed Services." Quite simply, their work inspires, covering a wide array of subjects -- love, war, life, death, age, affliction, homelessness, gun violence, genocide, philosophical debate and a range of lighter, off-the-cuff, everyday fun and amusement. IndieReader said: "At its best, the collection touches on greatness." "This diverse collection celebrates the power of poetry, blending emotional unburdening with joyful wordplay . . . A wild ride through a poetic landscape of trauma, tradition, and whimsy" -- Kirkus Reviews
