Reviews

[Caro · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read many of these delightful poems over the years and it is nice to see them all in one collection. There is such a beautiful quality and color to these poems... they seem to just materialize right on the pages. I'll come back to this collection over and over.

Not only do these poems flourish with sensuality, they sing with what makes poetry most important: compassion. Rabas brings kindness to reality, splendor to simple moments and music to life.

This is a very good poetry book and he blends music in with his poetry which made me enjoy it even more.
