New Review of Pigeons and Peace Doves by Matthew J. Hall

"On the surface this may seem depressing, and people who want flowery life is wonderful, everybody is happy messages shoved up their asses probably won’t relate to this, but if you’ve ever struggled to want to keep living, a book like this helps the journey."

from a new review by Peter Jelen of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Pigeons and Peace Doves" by Matthew J. Hall
