This is a very short book, yet it packs an emotional impact that will linger long after the book has been read. Sections are prose and sections are poetry but the whole book is filled with the kind of imagery one connects to poetry. It is as clean and refreshing as a cool bath in a mountain spring and leaves you feeling filled with questions and your own desire to see more writings from this original and delightful writer.
