Midwest Book Review
The senses make for a unique assault of verse. "Dreaming of Kaleidoscopes" is a collection of poetry from Chris Wind, as he presents a decade and a half of poetry, presenting her unique views and wisdom of the world and how it has developed over time. "Dreaming of Kaleidoscopes" is a top pick of poetry and is very much worth considering. "Counterpoint": Two lines of melody/refusing to coincide/collide/again and again/with each beat/they twist and tangle/leaving all my notes/in knots.
