In some cases, his exactness leaves one feeling a sense of order, while in others it becomes a paradox we are delighted to wrestle with time and again. So, if his poetry is \"rereading\" as he suggests in one poem, we are better for it. His most profound lines border on metaphysical mantra: \"All matters of death are matters of survival as well.\" These poems are the moon that \"looks back\" with no \"discovery\" on its mind and without holding our innocence against us. When going home isn't an option, \u003ci\u003eRed Truck Bear \u003c\/i\u003ewill be solid ground to return to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaundi Moore-Kondo, author of\u003ci\u003e Death of the Snowman \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRed Truck Bear\u003c\/i\u003e provides poetic evidence of dark matter.

He can take the mundane, a moment with his mother, a noisy neighbor in the apartment nearby, a floor that is a little dusty in his house, and he can draw our attention to what is spiritual, even sacred about those things. In doing so, he elevates the reader, or perhaps he elevates just me. After all, he has given me new perspective and allowed me to find empathy for the people and things I would have normally moved blindly past. His newest collections, just like all of his collections, is a work of profound beauty and insight. It should be read and reread by everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Brantingham, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Green of Sunset and DUAL Impressions: Poetic Conversations about Art\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302264787141,"sku":"9781950462742","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/9RBCphWIzf9781950462742.webp?v=1780434136","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/red-truck-bear-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
