Osip Mandelstam was a Russian poet, and essayist who was born in Warsaw, Poland & lived in Russia during and after its revolution and the rise of the Soviet Union. He was one of the foremost members of the Acmeist school of poets.

Woody Guthrie was an American singer-songwriter and folk musician whose musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional and children's songs, ballads and improvised works.

The Unsaid is a sequence of poems probing an inner return to a tenuous home; another gathered around an armature of poetics; a third insinuating poetry into political oppression: The Unsaid shares the fierce honest precision that Phil Hall's poetry is well known for.

All of his poems open their palms to the reader, no matter how personal and painful the haunts that produced them. The private becomes public, the solitary becomes community, in words meant to be of use as they expose what is mentally crippling when it goes unsaid.
