"From ethics to eros, Shirley Hall's poetry has an edge that sharply dissects the dilemmas of contemporary life. Hers is the voice of the prophet crying out for social justice; the voice of a compassionate human being seeking basic decency and dignity. More than mere entertainment and aesthetic experience, Hall's compositions provide insight and instruction, and are guaranteed to make your spirit sing." - Lance Strate Prof. of Communication and Media Studies Fordham University, New York.
