El Rockwell

Some reviews are in for ATOMIC WAIT:
"Poet El Rockwell shows a mastery of language far beyond his years. With a dedication to wordplay and a vocabulary never before seen in poetry. His words jump off the page, attacking like an American soldier in an oil rich country."
Nice.Next:
"Is it rap? Is it poetry? Its it illegal? Yes to all. El Rockwell is the type of poet that comes around once a generation. The type to paint vivid pictures of a seemingly post apocalyptic world crumbling around us all, only to show that it is in fact the world of today."
Actually, what I was going for was Pre-apocalyptic world trembling at my feet, but I guess its open to interpretation. Next:
"El Rockwell's poetry blows my mind, I cant believe ANYONE can write like this!"
Like I said, my mission is to blow your mind and then your car, cos Rockwell ain't a nom de plume, its a nom de guerre. Next:
"If it wasn't for El, and his amazing poetry, I would be dead in a ditch somewhere with tiny bugs gnawing away at my very soul.still. Buy his book, and you wont be sorry for long."
Umactually you wont be sorry, period.Oooh! This next one sounds like a ringing endorsement! :
"El Rockwell's poetry saved my life and my marriage! Unfortunately, it killed my children, but you have to take the bad with the good right?"
Riiiiight. One more quote, and this one actually qualifies as about me! Awesome! :
"El Rockwell dominates the Phoenix poetry scene with dark, despotic flows and unheard of rhyme schemes. He can often be found at poetry readings spreading his rants, raps and thesis' as if it were the new AIDS, or on a soapbox doing the same. This pop culture meets politically charged scribe is a prolific play-write, scripting the dialog which drives our communal soul." For more reviews of my work, check out my comments.
