Attack of the Utopians

Baker (Dec '10): "The world has enough poetry books written solely for the author's outlet, and I dare not burden the public with another. 'Utopians' is something different — no mere anthology of musings and private-feelings-made-public — but the cataclysmic result of when words attending Math and Art class, the Renaissance Fair, Space Camp, church and the local convenience-store haunts finally meet in the middle to duke it out. I wrote the book I couldn't find anywhere else: chapters filled with stanzas that could redefine thought processes, pages that made liquids into gases and made poetry into matter more solid than diamond. Attack these poems, courageous reader, or they will surely draw first blood." At 360 pages, this thick book of nearly 200 previously unreleased poems is certainly worth the purchase.
