I love Adam’s poetry for its stark honesty. He is so talented and never uses two words when he can use one—which is one hallmark of a great modern minimalist poet. Meaning and creativity move through these words. I highly recommend!

[Brendan · Rating 3 out of 5]

He has his own style. So that's a plus. It just didn't mesh with mine.

The art is three black and white drawings, each with a vague Japanese style. Two of them are landscapes and decent; the other is flowers and water and does nothing for me.

Favorites:
"Ellipses"
"My Beloved Petulancy"

She called me last night and asked
what is breathing
- "It Hurts Me Too"

All things give way to nothing
worth fighting against or even fighting for.
- "Winter Clothes"

I believe that two snowflakes can look alike,
and I believe I will never see them.
