"Your poetry really speaks to me. Thanks for the encouragement." DJ, Canada

“I did very much like the inspirational selection, ‘Long Beach’,” KMS, Canada

 “Brought tears to my eyes,” AJ, Canada

 “Wow, I am impressed. I love what you have done. I love the ‘camera poetica’ page. That page goes beyond just written poetry,” SR, Canada

 “Looks good, I especially enjoyed the moving pictures.  You speak close to my heart.  We've talked often about the viewer’s relation to art and the artist's quest to convey an experience and not a process of behaviours.  One cannot fully embrace experience and leave behind behaviour, so, have fun, work with both, “ JV, Canada

 “We just finished viewing your beautiful work. Wow! I've now had my daily dose of inspiration. Your visual poetry is truly powerful and transcending...I love how it reaches out on so many levels and does not exclude anyone in its scope,”  M&PW, New Zealand

“I think you succeed admirably with your conceptual, abstract-expressionist, de-constructionist, and re-constructionist poetics. There are lines, passages, and entire “tableaux” of great beauty and expressive power. What came to my mind, somewhat by “intertextuality” (a word much favoured by literary critics these days), was Tennyson’s famous poem, “Ulysses.” Its final line reads: ‘to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.’ His was a great poem for the 19^th century; yours is certainly a poem for the 21^st century.” Dr. Beert C. Verstraete, Acadia University, Canada
