Not Your Mama's Melting Pot

ΓÇ£From jump, there was such sonic, emotional, and intellectual drive to these poems, that I couldnΓÇÖt resistΓÇôwhy would I want toΓÇôthe pull of Benjam├¡n Naka-Hasebe KingsleyΓÇÖs vision and sensibility. Verve and ├⌐lan are words I might use, but they lack sufficient verve and ├⌐lan. And if I wrote, ΓÇÿhis future is bright, ΓÇÿ IΓÇÖd be wrongΓÇôhis future is here, and this book is as much fire as I can ask for.ΓÇ¥ —Bob Hicok, author of Hold
