These poems speak in many voices on many things--visionary, introspective, often given flights of language and imagination and metaphor that root themselves in the ordinary and commonplace only then to take the reader, suddenly and as if by magic, to some extraordinary place. Charles Watts thinks and writes with clarity and wit, whether about personal relationships, deer in the garden, or eternity, and his darkness never dims his light and his light never denies the dark. -Bruce Rowe (author: Poems of the Night and Day)
