Mitch Carter, the author of Spirit and Poverty, feels the world is facing a crisis of values. He believes the brightness of the modern world and its technology has so eroded and stripped us of spiritual values that we are left only with material values. "Spirit and Poverty" is a book of verse written in the style of a song. Because who doesn't think in lyrics after living through the times when music carried us all?

Spirit and Poverty
"Contains the collected poems of a man who has made a career of fighting for the underdog. The work reflects much of what he has done. Touching his own deepest feelings, Mitch Carter battles the power brokers and demagogues, undaunted. I greatly appreciate the radical perspective. It is needed in a society where comfort and convenience are top priorities. It is a healthy point-of-view."
