If one was ever curious as to what it felt like to be crucified by a man who uses surgical needles, a sledgehammer and a unique and scathing voice as his weapons, look no further; Zebulun has arrived. Armed with his new collection of poems, Say It With Silence, you can be spared the physical pain that comes along with a ritual sacrifice and read this tremendous work that is anything but silent. From line to line, Zebulun possesses a tone that can shift from comforting whisper to frightening bark. Divided into three sections, Verses Without Choruses, Bad Words and Twisting in the Wind, Zebulun develops both questions and answers to confront the banality of standardized living. Not only does he challenge you, he forces you to evaluate yourself in his quest to incinerate the average. No comparisons can ever be made to his work. It is a unique experience that could never be duplicated thus making Say It With Silence essential reading.

“No For An Answer” is much like a kaleidoscope or rather collide-o-scope that shifts between different shapes and shades of darkness in the life of its author. Zebulun delivers a new collection of almost spectral pieces about a man who can sometimes laugh at himself and his past and sometimes just simply be haunted by the misery surrounding him.
Relationships, politics and society are only a few of the themes that “No For An Answer” showers bullets upon. In his declaration of not accepting the mundane, the slow, the give-up, the pass-out, Zebulun still manages to put an arm around anybody who watched his or her lives be interfered with then followed by a healing drink.
