Fascist Haikus

In spirit, he's reminiscent of the late, great, Thomas McGrath.

Despite the buzz-word title, this is a nice selection of poems. Several poems extract the brilliance of Haiku in short concise thoughts, though some almost follow the haiku form. Charles Potts has a nice voice, mixing contemporary poetry with a literary background coupled with the strength of life lived. In my mind, I would see him as a modern Beat, in the best context of the concept.
