"I have learned what suffering means. In away that was impossible,I think I can understand something of the pain black people have come to endure. I know I contributed to that pain, and I can only ask your forgiveness." George Wallace made an unannounced speech at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1979, where Martin Luther King was once pastor.The Reverend Joseph Lowery, the 'dean' of the civil rights movement, thanked the former separatist "for coming out of your sickness to meet us. You are a different George Wallace today. We both serve a God who can make the desert bloom. We ask God's blessing on you."The writings contained herein will reveal for the first time, from a family perspective, the real George Wallace, not the myth that has grown up around the legend.

the 40th book of poetry by George Wallace¿¿¿"This is the poetry of a country born to be wild and a heart rapacious and spellbound; writing that is modern, mindful and as old as the native cornstalks"-THURSTON MOORE, SONIC YOUTH"George Wallace is a time traveler, a shape-shifter, a painter in words whose palette is the history of human struggle and aspiration. His poetry is a river running through generations of mothers and soldiers, migrants and lovers, factory workers and freedom fighters; a river mixing dark earth, temple dust, broken bones and drinking pots, black coffee and corn meal, with tears of seawater and the blood of true believers. Think Lorca in the late night barrooms of America with jazz on the jukebox and seduction on the dance floor, or Whitman in the trenches of world revolutions; from palace to prison and everywhere between George Wallace writes both inside and outside the walls, a man of many perspectives, singing the great soul story of our collective heart."-Carl Watson"George Wallace's latest collection, Resurrection Song, is a compendium of all his strengths as poet: his acceptance of risk, scorn for pretense, hatred of sham, an expectation of the triumph of love, and a passion for life lived wondrously to the hilt. An absolutely necessary collection."-Richard Modiano, Director Emeritus Beyond Baroque Literary/Arts Center"An orgy. An explosion. A goddamn feast. Poetry that will stand the test of time. Best collection of poems I've read so far in 2023."-JOHN SWEET, FIRST LUMMOX POETRY PRIZE"A deeply moving and powerful collection with an electric vocabulary."-Ellyn Maybe"Reminds us of what poetry was always hoped to be, but forgotten along the way."-Roger Aplon

George Wallace - winner of the First International Poetry Festival O¿RPHEUS - PLOVDIV 2018 with his poem 'Orpheus on the Elbrus' - is one of the best contemporary world's poets I have ever read. His poetry is like a message from God, but it isn't enough to say that because while plenty of poets think that they write under God's dictation, to hear the message, to catch the message, is different. In its energy, a sliver of the Beats (A hundred years among the daisies). In its reflectiveness, a particle of the Postmodernists (Letters from Vincent). But the essence of this strong masculine poetry is the Message - the message to the people, the message to the future, like a man who dies twice does not die / at all, he is Lazarus, he comes back to life, reborn. This is a poetry written in the language of the Prophets. This is a poetry with contempt for the oods of the world - the seas and rivers, time and memory, history and the future - in their present tense. The real message of this poetry is its attempt to unite a divided world.-Anton Baev, poet, writer, Chairman, Plovdiv Writers' Union
