POETRY FOR THE MASSES, by MARK LIPMAN

Drawn from the inspirations of social awakenings throughout the world; born out of the economic and social justice struggles of today, and a living testament of the spirit of the Occupy Movement, this powerful body of work exemplifies the voice of a generation tired of towing the line for a system that provides nothing for its people.

A treasure trove of poetic verse, Poetry for the Masses is bold and brazen indictment of capitalism and is a major step forward in the on-going debate of where we are heading as a society. A clarion call for justice.

“Mark Lipman writes beautifully and honestly for the people. His words are a gift. They give us strength; they remind us of our history, our potential, our bravery, our indomitable spirit. Mark’s poetry teaches us that anything is possible, that nothing has to stand in our way, that together, dignified, focused, and determined, we can change the world!” ~ Ron Kovic author of “Born on the Fourth of July”.

“Mark Lipman makes verses incendiary, an insurrection of words, ideas, rhythms, plowing open the earth for true justice, greater imaginations, for a new world about to blossom. Read Mark’s poetry, think hard on the material he draws on, the concaving of the capitalist world, then act. You’ll be more vital and incandescent for it.” ~ Luis J. Rodriguez, Los Angeles Poet Laureate;
author of “My Nature is Hunger” and “Always Running”.

This anthology, a selection of works from 70 Los Angeles poets, and the great photo-art of Venice artist, Mike Chamness, represents a powerful and broad spectrum of voices throughout the entire region.

Though by no means intended to be an exhaustive collection of all the great poets there are to discover in Los Angeles, let this anthology speak as an introduction to the soul of our communities on issues of social activism, race, discrimination, immigration, war, injustice, displacement, the environment, women issues, children rights, earth rights, human rights, labor and workers, here in this great city, the belly of the beast, Los Angeles, California.

“The Revolutionary Poets Brigade Anthology makes revolution still possible in these cataclysmic terrible times.” ~ Lawrence Ferlinghetti, 1st Poet Laureate of California.

“That a Revolutionary Poets Brigade exists in Los Angeles is a bit of a miracle and thanks to Mark Lipman in "ElAye" this Anthology reflects some of the terrific poetry, outside the established institutions, that exists in that area, from more renowned poets like Luis. J. Rodriguez to terrific new voices like Henry Howard and venerables like Michael C Ford. There’s potential for the biggest Brigade in the States in Los Angeles. Where did Romero come from? And that Devcich, wow!” ~ Jack Hirschman, 4th Poet Laureate of San Francisco.
