“Michael Grover’s Fatherless Children is a long, winding, 200 part elegy for his father and “…the world as it used to be.” It’s a book of healing and spiritual awakening. Of learning to love and learning to forgive. There’s still heavy doses of Grover’s legendary punk antics aimed at the bullshit in our country, and there’s still his bits of poetic wisdom that he’s found over the decades of living on the fringe, forever an outlaw, but there’s a growing openness dotted with glimmers of hope in this new work. Or, as he says, “Maybe that’s what I’m doing here/Trying to fix what’s broken,” and indeed, you can see the mending begin, continue and end, all in Grover’s trademark fashion of punchy poems that sit in your lap a while. This is a book that would go well with both morning coffee and meditation, or with midnight nightcaps and prayers for sleep.”—Dan Denton, author of The Dead and the Desperate and others
“Michael D. Grover’s Fatherless Children is an outcast’s plaintive wail to a lost father and a generation of lost kids. This long elegy comprised of bite-sized diary-like entries is an impassioned plea for love and understanding in a fatherless american hellscape where even Poets claw up each-other’s spines to be seen & lionized, to bask in the attention of their fathers. Though the world is steadily burning, the Poet finds a way to do his work of making words. Despite cancer, paranoia, capitalism, society’s crash & burn, and an unfixable broken relationship with his father, the Poet urges us onward: Be the light, be creation in the face of decline / Be the light, as dark as it may seem.”—A.S. Coomer, author of Songs for Leaving and others
