“The poems in Liberty are relentless. Relentless in confronting injustice. Relentless in naming names. Relentless is mining the self for signs of pain and endurance. Relentless in seeking clarity through image and word. Amiri Baraka relentless. Cherrie Moraga relentless. They demand response, and action. Read the book, then go out and work for change.” – Steve Wilson, author of The Reaches
