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

Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!

Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money
