This book boldly sets out to capture the voices and spirits of many of the most fascinating figures in contemporary English and Japanese poetry. Forging these kinds of connections over time and space provide sustenance for the soul, and as readers, we follow Botsford across the divides of time and space, identifying across eras, ethnicity, and nationality.

Your book is a rare testament to something beyond
us all and at the same time bringing all into relation. It may take me
a while to fully digest what you have done here, for now, I just wanted
to express gratitude and appreciation. It is a beautiful and visionary book.
[David Rigsbee, poet and literary critic, wrote:]
Your beautiful collection arrived a few weeks ago,... I hope the book gets notice.
It’s handsome and accomplished. I’d like to post something about it myself, as long as
I can figure out how to do so without seeming self-aggrandizing!
It’s a lovely work, Alan, and a work of love. It ought to be on every poetry lover’s desk.
[William Heyen, poet-critic & Cyberwit author, wrote:]
...your book arrived here a few days ago, and I've been reading, and
reading again, hearing your voice and the voices of many poets I've
known in person or in history. Congrats. A handsome book, too, thanks to
you and Cyberwit. |
