"A paean to love in the time of plagues, a poignant precise elucidation
of the desolation row death of the American Dream, and a rapturous ode
to the mysterium tremendum the awe inspiring terrible beauty of
the high desert. With raven eyed razor sharp lyricism Mimi German's
WHERE GRASSES BEND is a masterpiece of poetry."
--Ron Whitehead, Lifetime Beat Poet Laureate
"Mimi's verses elevate and embrace the voices of the vulnerable, forgotten, and disenfranchised. These words are weapons sheathed in love." --Peggy & Brian Manning, Owner's of Revolutions Bookshop Portland, OR
"German is a grit queen of the outlaw rebel poet tradition, of the oral tradition of the Beats, Howling in anger and truth."
---Karlostheunhappy, International Beat Poet Laureate (England) 2022-2023
I love these new poems by poet/Beatmaster, Mimi German. I recommend you get a copy of Where Grasses Bend, but instead of reading the poems alone--at least--on the first time through--read them with a friend...

They come to me like Sapho's poems, which I like very much.

Words like waves of memories longing...
