What is the measure of man? In this extraordinary collection of poems, Herb Brin rages against injustice and oppression with deeply felt passion. “Not to the weak of art does artistry belong,” Brin declares in the opening line of this book. Herb brings to his poetry the same burning indignation against bigot and tyrant, the same compassion for the persecuted as he did in his widely-quoted newspaper columns. “Justice, Justice Shalt Thou Pursue…” were the words Herb Brin inscribed above the masthead of Heritage, the Southern California newspaper he published for several decades. “His verses are the cry, the laughter, the little sorrows and the eternal triumphs of a man – and of a people,” writes Tom Tugend.
