Gospels of Rage, comments on the culture of fanaticism

In poems of depraved depth, cruel devotion, and terrible beauty, Gospels of Rage issues a challenge to infuse the human voice and spirit into this shameless age of fanaticism and post-nuclear barbarity. With acute curiosity, the poet Forest F. White broke bread with terrorist sympathizers, sat vigil in mosques and fundamentalist compounds, lived homeless, slept in dens of criminal infamy, joined the army, and went to jail to discover and sometimes experience first-hand the lives immortalized by his poetry in Gospels of Rage. Gospels of Rage illuminates the lives and deeds of those who fall prey to the prevailing culture of fanaticism in the world today. This is a book of their songs.
