About Pamphlet 2020 by Paul Tait:
Written entirely during the panic and chaos which was 2020 some, but not all, of that is woven into the tapestry that is Paul Tait’s “Pamphlet 2020”.
Being topical was never an intention of Paul’s for he feels it limits the life span of a piece. Therefore be it a musical composition or poem, Tait has generally avoided speaking out on a current event in his work. Some exceptions, like “Paris, 2020”, do manifest.
“Pamphlet 2020” contains the most Tait has written in a single year since his twenties. This is largely due to the supportive writing community he became a part of on Twitter.
As with “Boston Dialect Volumes I and II” all the poems are in the order they were written.

Critics say:
“The poetry of Paul Tait is impossible to classify. Indeed, it defies showing any attempts at being like anything else I have read.” –Ray Simmons
“Paul Tait’s Boston Dialect is inspirational; to read his poetry is to pass through a gateway into another world.” – Sarah Stuart
“In a frank prose that is in some ways darker in tone than his previous work, Tait still manages to invite the reader with him on a journey of self discovery, with a certain grasp on lyricism that demands each page be read aloud even as he dives into topics like suicide, and love captured and lost.” -Kayti Nika Raet
“There is an affirmed intimacy with the use of the “first person” and readers can see someone in dialogue with the world around him, a relationship with things and people — dreams, feelings, thoughts, places.” -Ruffina Oserio
