"Broken Garden & The Unsaid Sings," a new title from Larry Goodell, features poems from 2011 and 2012. Along with the poems all geared to read aloud are some drawings that occurred at the time of the poems. The book follows the notebooks of the poet and is the first of three new books. Digital Remains (poems of 2013) and Pieces of Heart (poems of 2014) are also newly available. Bobby Byrd says of Goodell's poems, For something like 60 years now, Larry Goodell has been the Poet of our Conscience. It's an ancient occupation, and Larry does not shirk his responsibilities. Love poems. Garden poems. Sorrow poems. Political rants. Joyful life celebrations. Wherever his quirky imagination takes us, he is always reminding of our place on this precarious Spaceship Earth as it navigates around the sun and through the universe. Enjoy his poems, always be ready to laugh out loud, but, please, pay close attention. Take heed. This is important work." Robert Creeley has said, "Larry Goodell talks a truth in terms that grab you by the ears and give you a good shake. There is generous wisdom in this genial poet, which is why the horny toads still love a hoe-down, if Larry plays the tune." And Gino Sky, the Cowboy Buddha, says, Since the "Sixties," Larry Goodell has kept that "spirit" alive. And, he continues getting stronger and more significant in his life and writings. He is a real poet. A true poet who has never once taken the academic way out. He is what we all strove for when we first started on our quests as revolutionary poets. Walt Whitman stuffed in our back pockets, Francois Villon, Emily Dickenson, John Keats, William Blake, Tillie Olsen, Rosalie Sorrels. Poetry's a revolution, and Larry's our peace-loving drum major." Bob Holman says of Larry Goodell, "Now that spoken word and performance poetry have pushed poetry back into the public eardrum, now that poetry slams and hip hop, Billy Collins and Garrison Keillor have all conspired to create a US Poetry Renaissance, dear Larry Goodell can lean back on his caterpillar legs and other poetry costumes and ask, "Where ya been?" Goodell, as unknown at 70 as he was at 20, has a half-century's worth of revolutionary poetics under his belt, and is laughing all the way to Utopia. Nobody has done more, nor been recognized less, than this Legend of Placitas, New Mexico." Judson Crews has said that Larry Goodell is "the consummate performance poet."
