Wayne Mason/A Lifetime Of Mondays

Reviewed by Michael Grover

Wayne Mason is definitely a poet that I can relate to. Coming from a small
nowhere Florida town much like myself. I recognize the hopelessness in his
words, in fact the only hope is destruction. This short book of poems covers
Wayne the aging poet staying in that same Florida town. Itis written
unpretentiously in a language that common people would understand. His poems
speak of images that he has of the factory that he works in burning down
with the bosses still inside and ash raining on their luxury cars parked
outside. Mason is a working class poet who would rather hang out in a
working class bar, with a jukebox so outdated it still has Monk on it, than
hang out in a coffee shop with a bunch of trendy kids. I would highly
recommend this to anyone who likes real poetry, cold and hard like concrete.
My favorite poem of this collection would be Cries OfThe World, where he
calls on Kannon the goddess of compassion, but there is not a bad one in
here. It is 6 dollars post paid P.O. Box 90945, Lakeland Fl 33804.
