Comment from Jeanie Mercer
I have read a little of Wiesel's "Night," but was not woman enough to read much. I sense here a subtle double meaning of "bludgeon" as it affects both survivor and surveyor. I'm always impressed with your work. Best regards, Jeanie Mercer

Well, that was certainly very nice of you Jeanie. I will admit to putting the book aside several times. It is hard to take all that brutality in to one's self all at once.

The death camps of the Holocaust were unimaginably horrible. In your poem I wasn't sure if it was an account of what happened to the survivor or that the survivor wants vengeanece.

It is meant to be a forlorn cry to finish me, I can take no more inhumanity.

ONe can never really know the extent of another's suffering. Your poem is very crisp with the extreme emotions of waiting to die while watching others die my God the agony that must be very good write well done

'Bludgeon' is an exceptionally well-written and gut-wrenching piece. This talented poet treads the ground that so many try to avoid. It was a privilege to read and review a work of this standard.

Hi Victor - a bit dark, but I always appreciate people taking the risk to write about something like this. I finished a book called, "Sarah's Key", which is about Jews in Frane in the 1940's. Makes me a bit sensitive. Regards, Bill

The imaginary is strong. Death is obviously the focus here, but I also get a sense of a struggle for survival at all cost. I've watched a few docs on WW2 Nazi concentration camps and brutality is overwhelming. Nice piece.

This darkness is crafted very well my friend. One can pull so many levels out of it! There is the physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual within it. This allows every being alive to relate to it.
I am impressed.
