Five years after I first submitted a 20-poem chapbook with the title
What Color is Your
Privilege? -- four years since the man later named Poet Laureate of Louisiana blurbed the then 40-poem collection -- you can now preorder
What Color is Your Privilege? in its final configuration. A collection of 72 political statements in poetic form,
What Color is Your Privilege? opens a window on the suffering many are privileged to ignore.
"Serving a truth serum for hate and hypocrisy, F.I. Goldhaber is writing with a hammer and speaking with a tongue of fire. In
What Color is Your
Privilege?, they sing a book-length blues song decrying racial, gender, religious, and sexual intolerance in America. With courage and a rejection of conventionality rarely found in contemporary verse, this book shines a bright, beaming light on the 'hostile world' we live in and the revolution being fought for the soul of America." --
John Warner Smith, Louisiana State Poet Laureate Emeritus and author of
A Mandala of Hands and
Spirits of the Gods
