"Nicholas Powers takes the most contemporary social issues and events of our generation and examines them from a very personal place seldom seen in media. He effectively captures the innocence of suffering, portrays the nobility of sacrifices and asks questions that are not answered by mainstream society. A must-read for those interested in political, psychological and social development." --Lee Mayjahs, The Philadelphia Experiment

"The Ground Below Zero introduces a new and important voice, one with a trajectory reaching from New York's left and alternative cultures to the present world's vistas of death. It is a voice partly urban-hip and partly epic-tragic. The story it tells is part journalism, part memoir, and part prophetic-apocalyptic vision." --Christopher Z. Hobson
