Print: $20.00 A collection of poems by Hall Gardner. The Wake-Up Blast captures over three decades of poetic protest and dissent, reflected through the lens of personal experiences and encounters throughout the world, and explores a wide range of explosive social and political themes.
In interweaving the personal, the social and the political, Hall Gardner's poetry captivates readers through rallying cries against fear and violence in a counter-visionary quest to transcend
the present global crisis and to achieve mutual
understanding among conflicting peoples and states—through engaged dialogue and the medium of poetry.

"I love these poems, which are full of passion and thought. Eliot Katz is among a handful of contemporary American poets whose work speaks to me."--Howard Zinn
"Eliot is right up there carrying the torch for Whitman and Ginsberg, keeping their vision alive and well....A must-read for anyone who believes poetry can still celebrate life."--Alicia Ostriker
"William Ayton has mastered the art of drawing with ink and brush. Like the words of Eliot Katz, his brush marks the page with deliberate force. A broken eggshell, weapons and dreams, a stroke that cannot be taken back." --Tim Slowinski
