“SPANGLING DARKNESS ignites the imagination for a new vision that allows the Earth to mend.”
~ J. GLENN EVANS, founder of PoetsWest and author of two novels and four poetry books
***
“…each poem calls us to attention, that we may hear the rhyme of waves, feel the burning sap of a fire-born seed, the life-force pulsing in the filaments of the invisible web that holds us…And we, the lucky readers, emerge…’hewed a little larger’ by Block’s poems, with their twin blessings of grace and wonder.”
~ TERRY EHRET, Author of four collections of poetry, cofounder of Sixteen Rivers Press, and Poet Laureate of Sonoma County 2004-2006
***
“The poems in SPANGLING DARKNESS breathe with a remarkable sensory awareness that brings the reader as close as one can get to daily life. This is where Raphael Block begins to work magic as a poet…”
~ John Fox, founder of The Institute for Poetic Medicine, author of Poetic Medicine, The Healing Art of Poem-making
