Robert A. Sloan, author of "Raven Dance" had the following to say about this book:
"(His) language has a loose, natural rhythm that's become almost postmodern."
"He has a nearly journalistic honesty of voice and that's powerful."
"His poetry's profound at times and he has a very natural voice. It falls midway between lyric - and the honesty of a friend sharing his feelings with another. He slides in and out of meter in a way that suggests meter is broken by emotion, structure and formality broken down with the gut-ripping intensity of those feelings, Musically it would slide in and out of melody, sung then spoken."
"His thought is often original."
Other readers' comments:
"He has a very special quality and gift for letting people see his end of the story...to put people in his shoes."
"It's very truthful, very honest and forces people who may think one way to see the situation in another light."
"It's entertaining and thought-provoking."
"It's very real, raw, involving, thoughtful and insightful."
"It (poetry) comes from a very real place and that's what makes his poetry so engaging."
"There are so many of them (poems) I can relate to, because they're all universal feelings to things."
"He has a beautiful way of expressing words."
"His poems are filled with truth, beauty and passion. Each has its own message of importance to share with the audience. For the messages within each poem are real and point toward a more blissful way of viewing life - a breath of optimism in hard times, a reminder of what is really important."
"He's a vivid writer. I can see things as I read as if I'm actually there doing the things he is writing about."
