Secret Lives of Mad Hatters & Other Haberdashers (Skewed Views of Life From a Midwestern American)

  Mr. Czaja brings a fresh voice to the stagnant world of modern poetry. Rather than have the reader run to Wikipedia to understand the words of the message, he details, in easily understood terms, sentiments we have all shared at some point in our lives. He is an obvious student of human nature and the complex relationships that exist among people. He is a master at expressing the angst and the joy that human beings provide in abundance. He is impossible to define. No single label can adequately describe who he is. There is, however, no mistaking his style, a style that has remained consistent, no matter the topic or the poetic format chosen, over the course of forty years. There is no mistaking, either, the passion, the zeal, with which he approaches his work. It is a passion that burns through these freely flowing pages. No matter your background or socio-economic status, there is something for everyone to relate to, to like, within these covers. If you decided to take a chance and buy this book, consider this your lucky day. The literary gods were smiling on you.
