Reviews

[Julene · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hot little book that is sharp with brevity. John studied Chinese poetry and his work pops in it's haiku style bare bones approach.

[Harold Bowes · Rating 4 out of 5]

These poems are rhythmic, to be read aloud, and yet frequently, the author influenced by Japanese poetry, a strong breath taking image will emerge.
