“Bite sized truths,
Some sad, some angry.
Some gently ironic, some
fiercely so.
A people’s poet praying for
an end to 9/11 by making
9/11 unforgettable.”— Governor Mario M. Cuomo |
“In these daring protest poems, Mike Sharpe wields
the most accurate of weapons, humor. Using direct and down-to-earth
language, the poet gets us to feel what he feels, an anger
accompanied by a compassionate sense of hope. It seems that each
line is composed of a gripping humanity of love and laughter.
Thou Shalt Not Kill Unless Otherwise Instructed is a great book
of poems for our time.”
— Ernesto Quiñonez, author of Bodega
