O knihe

"Rumors of Wisdom impressed me throughout with poems about very specific things, or memories, or details; specifics that often metaphorically stand for bigger things. The details are interesting and fresh, as in 'Barometer.' The poet uses a good deal of artistic language and viewpoint, as if seeing the world through a painter's eyes. From time to time the odd technical term may pose a challenge, but it also serves as an opportunity for readers to broaden their vocabulary. This collection stands out for its breadth of scope."-Timons Esaias, Louis Award Judge, author of Why Elephants No Longer Communicate in Greek

"One finds in this collection poems of the rare sort that come quietly, like a cat prowling about in the midnight hour, looking hard into the darkness for what stirs. Luminous, lyric, sparkling with wit and the kind of subtle wisdom that comes from a long, slow, generous looking at life… these poems are simply irresistible in their appeal."-Mark S. Burrows, Ph.D., Poetry Editor of Spiritus, author of Meister Eckhart's Book of the Heart: Meditations for the Restless Soul, with Jon M. Sweeney

"Remorse and redemption permeate these poems the way 'a mist touches everything.' Spaces are spare, remote, yet welcome with 'a wink of paradise.' What surrounds us is not separable from our being, with 'each of us taking on something of the other.'"-Lana Hechtman Ayers, Managing Editor of Concrete Wolf Press, author of Red Riding Hood's Real Life
