ABOUT THE BOOKS
In his 3rd POOR Press volume of poetry STORMWATER, performance poet Dee Allen reveals many forms of the ugliest expression of hostility humans can show towards each other: Genocide.
From a dictatorship's savage holocaust in Syria to the street and media lynchings of young Mario Woods in San Francisco to a flooded, besieged New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, Allen's verses will place you at the centre of action like a first-hand witness.
