More DescriptionPoetry. "In KANJI AMERIKANA, Philip Kobylarz, like the best dance partners, leads you into a journey of mind, spirit, body and soul. His images are full of unexpected music. 'The light / of the instant filtered through thunderheads making the wine glasses / of the picnic goers sing.' His images cut to the core of things--'wind-smoothed monoliths / where would stand a cross of cedar in celebration / of the bones of a kite.' His poems are an invitation to pay attention to the tiny moments that make life sparkle and shine. 'Oranges in a porcelain bowl on the table behind / two shaded wine bottles and a teapot steeping.' And suddenly, life becomes large with vision, as 'The horned owl threads the forest .' 'Snow over the sea . Fire- / works set upwards or falling stars - last messages.' This book is the work of a master poet, revealing the images and the wisdom inside of core of the universe and your own soul."--Diane Frank
