Check out some of the reviews for When They Go Low, We Go Haiku, the "#1 New Release in Japanese poetry and haiku": From BJ in Chicago (on Amazon.com): "I truly enjoyed this book....Although funny and even hilarious at times, truth in these senryus does not escape the reader. If you have followed the news since the election of Trump, you will find these little snippets both funny and true." From Judith Podell (on Amazon.com): "This is brilliant and also funny, and also very very sad since it's facts, not fiction. Mary Steinberg distills daily bad news from the White House into seventeen syllables. She has been doing this practically every day since the Inauguration, which is an incredible feat, like squeezing an army of clowns into a mini-cooper. Speaking of clowns? Yup, all the usual suspects are included plus a few surprises." From JLA (on Barnes & Noble): "A funny book -- and it makes a great gift! I gave this to all of my Resister friends at Christmas, and everyone loved it...the satire is spot-on. The book also includes some commentary that traces Trump's journey from president-elect to unindicted co-conspirator. As awful and depressing as the Trump administration is -- this book will make you smile if not laugh out loud." From the Online Book Club: "Wisely, the author does not spell out the meaning of every direct and indirect point she makes through her poems. This demonstrates the author's trust in the reader’s intelligence. Steinberg’s opinionated aim is sure, and those with a greater understanding of the political context can recognize just how clever and cutting the author’s words are. This is an engaging and ironic poetry collection full of awareness, concern, and humor. The author’s writing style is smart and effective." From Jim L (on Amazon.com): Are you a Resister who is sick and tired of Trump's corrupt administration? If so, then this book is for you! From Alan B. (via the "Contact" form on this site, HERE): When They Go Low, We Go Haiku “is original, insightful and entertaining...and because of the updates online, it never gets stale. The man in the white house gives us a daily dose of outrageous, sometimes scary news that will keep me checking this site out quite often.”
