I don't know how old Mike Meraz is but his book, Black-listed Thoughts,is wise beyond his years. These finely honed observations about his inner and outer life are riveting in their power and simplicity, and full of mystical possibilities. The latter, working as a welcome and very refreshing counter-balance to the doom saying and desperation of "realism" poetry and so-called "outlaw" poets. You will find yourself reading this little black book again and again. I know I did.
