Review:
The themes in so many of these poems simply but eloquently deal with life, from our beginnings to our ends. And the author does it beautifully with smooth phrasing, exhilarating metaphors and comforting lines that etch deep into our subconscious... --Jacob Erin-Cilberto, author, Intersection Blues
From these poems I get a sense of care and conviction. The reader can lose himself in a poem and trust the poet. In the poem "Power" the permanence of things is compared to the question of our own permanence. The overall tone of the poem considers how we find out who we are without either doubt or pathos. --Kirby Congdon,, Small Press Review
