"Frazer's poetry, essays, fiction and novels read like a Beat poet with a vengeance, but is his vengeance against a society which has so consistently ostracized him, or is it an expression of the existential experience which Tourette writers are beginning to document?"

-- Adam Ward Seligman, Echolalia Press
(From the Preface)

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT
SING ME ONE SONG OF EVOLUTION
"Out the mouth pours the stream -- poem? dream? or scream? At 48, the one-man-band of a poet Vernon Frazer discovered he had Tourette's Syndrome, the disease of the uncontrollable street ranter. All this time we'd just thought he was one more crazy poet! Or, as Vernon puts it, "The Sane/are always/with us, the poor/bastards." In his glossolalia, coprolalia, echolalia, St. Vitus dance of an existence we can find all humanity's truths, pre-language. The throat rasps the hinge, the tongue picks the lock, and Vernon Frazer writes with a bone of nerve juice. He is the poet of Tourette's"

--- Bob Holman

"Because they were written out of necessity and a lived life, any reader will recognize that Vernon Frazer's poems are the real thing. Sing Me One Song of Evolution demostrates once again the power of art to overcome adversity"

--- Brendan Galvin
