97 Poems by D. R. Wagner
At last! A big collection of superlative poems by the
incomparable D.R. Wagner—visionary explorations of the omnipresent music and
beauty and mystery and multi-dimensionality of life.
Todd Walton
Author of Inside Moves and Buddha In A Teacup
If I could write, I'd write like D.R. Wagner, whose
writing touches the earth and then the sky and then all points in between. He
talks about Higher Beings without really naming them, about fairytales and
mythology, about daily life and the pain and fragility of being human. I've
published his work many times because his voice is so unique and continues to
evolve as his work goes on. D.R. would be my literary alter-ego—if I could
write, that is.

Publisher of Rattlesnake Press and Medusa's
Kitchen
