"Language of Souls is a hauntingly beautiful book. The images, both written and visual, meld so naturally that your step from hustle and bustle into dreamscape and timelessness is seamless. Each poet speaks with a distinct, recognisable voice: yet a fine balance is created. Read language of the souls when you have time to experience it fully: rush it, and you deny fulfillment."
Anne MacMillan, Forward Press UK
"These are accessible poems from writers who span the street stones of hard realism (Ruth Solomon), the spinning, two-sided coin of pragmatic philosophy (David Taub), and the gauze of sheer, sound-laden fancy (k.t. Frankovich.) These poets, forming a New York/London/Florida troika and supported by the supple drawings of Freydoon Rassouli, encompass one language beyond languages, communication as essence, or incense, the swirls easily savoured.

One of the best coffee-table books of this last decade!
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
