Charles Levenstein

New book! Poems of World War III And even newer -- Animal Vegetable ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Just finished reading Poems of World War III in one sitting. Collectively, they're very, very good, at times almost brilliant. ...muttering cantankerously to power is more convincing, and damning, than pious op-ed columns and the all too predictable, morally outraged screeds in the Nation, American Prospect, & Z." //Bruce Pech// "Poignant and angry" //Beth Rosenberg// "I got the book and read it through in one sitting. Good stuff. There’s a distinctive voice in the poems, which is what we all strive for when making poems. It helps when the writer has a lot to say because he has lived a lot and seen a lot and felt a lot and thought a lot." Paul Marion "Hello, great poet of Brookline. I have now distributed 3 copies of your poems to various individuals and received appropriately rave reviews..." Amelia Tuminaro ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ "In Poems of World War III, Levenstein has created a book of extraordinary intelligence and social consciousness. But more than that, it is a call for fellow poets and human beings to see the world in its entirety and speak up..." Jim Doss in Loch Raven Review, see http://www.lochravenreview.net/2006fall/doss.html ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And now for your reading pleasure, ANIMAL VEGETABLE, a new collection of poems, some from the famous Lawrence Farmers Market reading, others from the mutering and contemplation of the birds of Brookline.
