Poetry.About.com selects "Love, War, Fire, Wind" as a pick of 2009

About.com's Poetry section has selected "Love, War, Fire, Wind: Looking Out from North America's Skull", with poems by Eliot Katz & art by William T. Ayton as one of its Best Books of 2009.

From the review:

Eliot Katz is an American Purist, a political writer sans compromise, a keen observer of the human condition and what got us here. Love, War, Fire, Wind combines his words with art works by William T. Ayton. It has some big, blistering poems—“Rocking the Globe from D.C.”: “They have boarded off the demonstration’s / central planning space”—and short character sketches—“‘My shoes are too tight,’ / she answered. / ‘I think if I keep walking / one day they’ll stretch.’”
