This is a new poet for me. I really enjoyed Impermanence. The poems all look at universal themes but have a personal slant to them which I enjoyed reading. I liked the fact the collection contains mixed media such as photographs and images of what appear to be words carved into stone tablet. These features made it a pleasure to read the book. I think the impact would be more in a physical copy of the book and some impact has been lost due to reading a digital copy. I'd like to turn the pages with my fingers and take it all in. The poems are well-written and fully engage your senses. I really enjoyed this.
