An eclectic collection of original verse filled with fantastical heroes and dastardly villians; visionary hallucinations and empirical perspectives; inflammatory opinions and intimate confessions; metaphysical mysteries, and secrets revealed. More novel and entertaining than anything currently in print in contemporary American verse. This is NOT your grandmother's poetry!

Masterfully crafted verse! I have been drawn to perusing Delusions of Reality again and again, each time discovering something novel, some new food for thought. The collection is a compilation of different types of poems--there are, among others, emotionally effective love poems, powerfully engaging epic poems, perceptive and acutely intellectual ones, and also witty and entertaining ones. Delusions of Reality therefore offers a variety of reading experiences, and I recommend it to anyone who loves poetry!

Powerful! Like movie shorts for the mind! I've never read poetry with characters and dialogue. It was simply an awesome experience! I was completely drawn into each creation. Part movie, part meter and music; Part cartoon, and part emotion and philosophy! I get something different each time I read them! A must-buy for poetry connoiseurs. There's nothing else like it!

I have read and re-read this collection three times since I purchased it in early November. Quite honestly, I can take no issue with the statements that have been made concerning this author or this titles incredible originality. Through the course of these many reading I have been touched, moved to sincere emotion, and most importantly, compelled to the deepest of thoughts. In describing this book to a friend, I described it as a collection of 'brain vitamins'! These are one-a-day poems to ruminate on and contemplate over, and all done in the most delightful, imaginative mini-epics! This is TRULY something special!
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
