David Chorlton's awarding winning chapbook From the Age of Miracles (Slipstream, 2009) has just been reviewed by Seth Jani of Seven Circle Press. Jani writes: "But be assured the slow, quiet protest infused throughout [From the Age of Miracles] is also not a product of apathy, or neglected conscience, but rather the result of a life that has, at one point or another, passed through the hard fire of political activism and seeing through it, prefers to no longer fuel that fire. David Chorlton’s poetry is the record of a man who has reached the apex of the pyramid, and is looking fearfully upon the two sides as they relentlessly battle, threatening to bring the whole creation down. It is poetry that serves as a tough though not proselytizing “No” to our world’s deranged politics, while simultaneously reaching out as a resounding “Yes” to the forces of life that continue to infuse the natural world despite our endless attempts to smother them."
