The poems provide an ample proof that the poet is full of powerful imagination and profound feelings. The style in all these poems is quite simple devoid of any artificial vocabulary.
Fractional Disorder Review by LB Sedlacek
The mechanics of existence fall into these frank but rich poems in this new collection by Beck. He has a marvelous ear for verse, layers of meaning behind each one. There is a clear sense of emotion combined with a sensitive ear for language.
From his poem “Borders”: “I crossed the Rio Grande / late one night / escorted by the coyote / who wanted my body / as much as my money.” Lines like those tear at your soul, heart, and seep into your brain. He’s not afraid to write what everyone may be thinking but not saying out loud.
From his poem “Tendencies”:
“First factories went abroad / then jobs
followed, / capitalists / only concerned
with profit, / luxurious life, / forget the
toilers / who do the labor / that keep
things running.” Beck puts it out there
in his poems, each page a glimpse into
his world view, and maybe yours too.
