Reviews
"Darren Demaree's poems have always shaken me in the chest with their precision, and with their ability to find beauty in the smallest of margins. The poems in Demaree's new collection, Lady, You Shot Me, are certainly no exception. Even as these poems are teeming with ghosts from the 1960s--Lou Rawls, Ali, the Beatles, Aretha Franklin, and Sam Cooke himself--they are steeped in living truths. Demaree absolutely glides through the stickiest of poetic subjects--racism, betrayal, hubris, murder, alcoholism--and we are all blessed to slide in behind him for a ride through this wonderful collection. --Jack B. Bedell, Louisiana Poet Laureate, author of No Brother, This Storm Not only does ""Lady, You Shot Me ""address the unique genius of the man, the writings tackle difficult subject matters about Sam Cooke's life, as well. His impact on African-American history. On American history. The dubious nature of his death... -Mike Fiorito, of Mad Swirl ""Lady, You Shot Me"" by Darren C. Demaree tops the list of the Burningword Literary Journal of recommend readings."
