What poetry should be... sublime, thoughtful and interesting

This is a near perfect book of poems. Dive in and find yourself in a world of words that fills your mind with thought provoking images. It is strong. It is simple yet challenges the creative side of your brain to see things differently. This is what fine poetry is all about. I only wish the book were longer...Quite simply, beautiful.
