I just got a big case of the shivers reading “Panda Moon” by Brenda. This is my 4th read, and it just gets better. Brenda, you are a dear fairy person, and I thank you so much for all your support here during Kids’ Month! ❤

Charlie Zero embraces Beat Poetry, & bytes 21st century’s tech.
Resa @ GLaM 0 reviews Charlie Zero’s new book @ Robot Dreams Inside A Plastic Soul!
CZ has a message, & does not stray. Nor, does he shy away from vocabulary. This means you might want to have a dictionary handy, but don’t utilize it until you finish reading the poem at hand. IMHO, just read the poem & let your mind turn words into images. Good chance you will come to the same message/conclusion/advice or question that Charlie did.
After the fact, I found it fun to search the words I didn’t know, only to find that in context of his work, I did know.
Obviously & ultimately, it’s not just the words Charlie uses, but the way he employs them.
Yet, Charlie can take the simplest of words and forms to create: the amusing, { “Colonel beef-fruit”} the didactic {“…multiply in zeroes.”} and the unnerving {“3, 2, 1 …boom!}”
MY FAVE
At this point my fave chapter is “Advanced Mushrooms [The Kodak Man]”
In this chapter I found CZ”s current & topical messages revealed themselves most easily. This is especially evident in the poem “Mozart: The Orange Apocalypse”
CZ’s book of poetry is a like an artistic experiment, that has unlocked the DNA of words.
GLaM 0 signing out, & Resa heading back down to earth. Thanks for the great read, Charlie Zero!

How dreamy, I thought, Dean wrote a book of love poems!
“Love”, it’s so beautiful…
..Well, yes! However, perhaps not exactly as I had envisioned.
Nonetheless, passion is very evident in these poems. It’s especially noted when I feel distance from the sexuality of love, but want to feel close to it.
Dean doesn’t squander the “love ” word. Yet, I feel puppy dog love eyes.
Dean is the dark horse running with lighter, brighter angels. His view, as always, remains true to his perceptions.
Sometimes I understood I was reading in a special language. “Evol Fo Seigolohtym Eht”
I have a fave poem in this book. “Poem For Ann Marie” & I must mention my second fave “The Market Place”. I won’t tell you why because I really think you should just read them for yourselves.
I’ll be ordering another Dean J. Baker book, in paperback, tomorrow. My collection is almost current!
You can read my reviews of ” The Eschatological Dog”
or “Silence Louder Than A Train”by clicking on the pics of the covers.
Dean is a prolific writer, and all of his many books are available on Amazon in EBook and/or Paperback. He even has his own Amazon page.

Dean has several other interesting Blogs that you will find linked at the bottom of his site.
Delightful? A few poems are. Poignant they all remain, & dog me.
With his one-of-a-kind poetry style, Dean trains his unique eye on the end of the world, or of humankind, death, the destiny of humanity, the Second Coming & Judgment.
There is no escape like reading! What about reading about what one may never escape from? Dean’s words took me into that darkening day. He used the color of meaning to paint the way.
Yet, I never felt like running from it. I wanted to remain, to hear what the poet, writer, musician had to say about the decay, and mores.
Dog is God backwards, but I have a feeling Dean knew this when tempting us with his title.
I’ll be ordering another Dean J. Baker book, in paperback, tomorrow. There are still 2 or 3 I don’t own.

Christy Birmingham’s new book of poems is one of the best you will ever read.
Through what I see as 8 versions of her self, Christy reveals 8 versions of my self.
Yes, her metaphors are cunning, and her near rhymes, feet & other poetic abilities are alluring,
However, it is her ability to stay focused on the self that make these poems very special & simply personally meaningful.
Read “Versions Of The Self” & be wiser, as you will discover in Future Selves.
BTW, the concept of “Versions” itself, is poetry! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
