by Danyen Powell (Author)
The poems of Seeing Again are both concrete and imagistic. Sometimes surreal, they evoke a sense of place in the heart and mind as well as in the world. Light on the page, they balance like a mobile, sing visually. Powell's rich imagination inspires the reader to tap into their own, to join him in his exploration of the ordinary and the astonishing.
EARLY PRAISE:Danyen Powell uses unique language and spacing between words and lines that allow his words to blossom out of mystery into meaning. With this book he leaves us a legacy of beautiful poems.

These poems celebrate the world's wonders and reveal his own deep connection with it and his compassion for all that lives.
-ANN CONRADSEN, poet, Sacramento, California
Seeing Again builds a secret garden by words, which is the labyrinth of unknown human darkness...to find the way out with great passion... explore complexity in his almost minimized forms.
-BEI DAO, poet, editor of Jintian, Beijing, China
Danyen Powell's new collection of poems rings with emotional intensity and visual clarity. He is a poet who observes the world closely-both its physical and human elements-and brings them together in resonant juxtaposition. Each poem has its own heartbeat and invites the reader to connect with it.
-SHAWN PITTARD, author of Shelter in Place and Witness
