Mixtape: Marginal States

Bol

The poems in Mixtape: Marginal States bear witness to members of our human family who exist just outside the mainstream of society. In these portrayals, we see individuals struggling with homelessness, those uprooted from their native countries, such as asylum seekers, and others dealing with altered or challenging psychological states-states which anyone of us might occupy at some time during our lives. The hope of bearing witness is to foster compassion and inclusion, human needs shared by all.------------"Mixtape: Marginal States is not for the timid. Rather, it's for the bold lover of poetry, those who welcome the lyrical of society's joys and traumas....while finding the balance where hope challenges anguish, and the fear of apocalypse is quelled."-K-B GRESSITT, publisher/ co-founding editor of Writers Resist"Powerful poems of witness"-RON SALISBURY, San Diego Poet Laureate (2020-2021)"... these may very well be the individuals that we most need to meet; to read their stories recorded in a variety of shifting poetic forms by the author....Souls, weathered to gray dull as the sky overhead. Hall shines a light on all of them, also illuminating the reader with a purpose in mind: for us to come/ back to our senses."-ROBT O'SULLIVAN SCHLEITH, Escondido Arts Partnership and San Diego Poetry Annual regional editor
