Purveyor of Fine Words
"Poets are the doctors of the soul! I believe in the power of poetry to change lives and heal cultures." Larry Jaffe
“If our next President was prudent, Secretary of Poetry would be a new cabinet position and Larry Jaffe would be appointed on day one. Jaffe believes what he writes and you too will believe after you read this incredible book. It has been many years since I have read a poetry book this Revolutionary. It is filled with enough weapons, ammo, and firepower to make the Texas Freedom Party salivate. But to my dismay, you won’t find this book as the next Mississippi back roads gun show. They would hate every word. This book is for healers and people who cherish peace.” Michael Ellis, Poet M.e.
