About the Book

Wake Up is the latest poetry book by David Krieger. He has written four books of peace poetry and also edited four peace poetry anthologies. He continues on his path of writing piercing and thought-provoking peace poetry. His poems are often poems of remembrance, as well as warnings about the dangers of the nuclear age. Wake Up! is divided into six sections: Truth Is Beauty; War; Remembering Bush II; Global Hiroshima; Peace; Portraits; and Imperfection. Krieger has received many awards for his work for peace and a nuclear-free world, including three peace writing awards from the OMNI Center for Peace, Justice and Ecology. These poems leave us wanting to do more to build a peaceful world and assure humanity's future. The book has received much praise. Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote, "There is haunting beauty and truth in this poetry." Doug Rawlings, poet and Vietnam War veteran said of Wake Up! that "...it reads like a series of eloquent telegrams sent directly to the heart of a culture, ours..." Lawrence Ferlinghetti, poet and author of A Coney Island of the Mind, wrote: "Wake Up! is accessible and moving writing, setting itself against the dominant murderous culture of our time. Every poem hits home."
