Isaac Asimov on politics and saving the environment
“It is a mistake,” he said, “to suppose that the public wants the environment protected or their lives saved and that they will be grateful to any idealist who will fight for such ends. What the public wants is their own individual comfort.”

it was amazing
As a poet who has been writing for 45 years, and a fan of Emily Dickinson, I earnestly recommend this inciting and thoughtful collection. Mr. Sam is a talented and prolific poet, and I know you will enjoy reading not only this chapbook, but all of his other works. You can find this at GFT Press (Ground Fresh Thursday). I ordered my copy and received it promptly. It’s definitely a good read!

David Anthony Sam has written such a beautiful tribute to Emily Dickinson and to the influence she has had on all the poets born after her. These lyric poems recreate the emotions experienced when reading and reflecting on the poems of Dickinson. For those who have only read the handful of Dickinson poems taught in high school, I believe ‘Finite to Fail’ will inspire readers to seek out more of Dickinson’s poetry, along with more of David Anthony Sam’s poetry.
You can purchase your copy from GFT Press for $6.
