Jefferson Carter
dedicated minor poet
2 recent reactions to my new poetry collection:
from Lupe Garcia:
Jefferson Carter has done it again. Free Hugs, a compilation of some of his finest work plus new entries, has captivated me. He's shared his life experiences in a way that made me laugh, roll my eyes and nod in agreement with "some" of his views. Yes, I can relate!!! Great read, great purchase.
from Michael Bowden:
Free Hugs is consistently and relentlessly your best work—and I’ve seen most everything you’ve written, as you know. Brother you have hit your stride. I know it’s a cliche but I laughed out loud, and often; but what impresses me most is the collection’s combination of enlightenment with pure enjoyment. Well-done. Can it possibly be true that poetry’s fun?
Your poems stand tall against the morose and narcissistic tone-deaf neediness and bluster I usually expect to encounter when I’m rummaging the dumpster of American verse like a hopeless prospector.
Your new poems are consistently and contagiously well-written. Excellent work. Terrific addition to your oeuvre.
