In this book David invites us to share “unchartered oceans of the imagination.” Unfettered by convention, David’s journey urges the reader to dig deeper inside and, in some cases, simply to enjoy his words, photographs, and drawings. The haiku inspired this reader to try my own writings, with mixed results, but gave me some satisfaction and certainly a greater appreciation of David’s haiku.
For those of you who knew Raymond Starzmann, “Grace” is a fitting tribute to him. And if you did not know Raymond, you might understand what an incredible privilege it was to know him.
One of my favorite poems is “Luna.” Many of the haiku, especially “Rose" speak so simply yet convey a perfect experience.
One might think David is prescient in the line “We’re all in this together” from “Kansas City Here I Come.” It is a great ode to Kansas City.
David says “Be yourself which is the hardest thing to do.” Wander through this book and share David’s amazing journey.
