Found His Verse To Be Immediate And Hard-hitting
“I don't normally care much for poetry, but found his verse to be immediate and hard-hitting, much in the vein of Baudelaire. This is not sing-song rhyming verse, but poetry that makes you sit up and think about life and the human condition. An excellent first effort." — poet Tracy Mellor - author of Walk Backwards In Your Mind (2007) and More (2009) [November 9, 2013]
