"You have to slow down, and absorb calmly, the procession of gritty,
pointillist gnarls of poetry that Mark Spitzer wittily weaves into his
book. Just the title, Age of the Demon Tools, is so appropriate in this
horrid age of inappropriate technology--you know, corruptly programmed
voting machines, drones with missiles hovering above huts, and mind
reading machines looming just a few years into the demon-tool future.
When you do slow down, and tarry within Spitzer's neologism-packed
litanies, you will find the footprints of bards such as Allen Ginsberg,
whose tradition of embedding current events into the flow of poesy is
one of the great beacons of the new century. This book is worth reading
if only for the poem 'Unholy Millennial Litany' and its blastsome
truths."
--Ed Sanders.
