Summary: slighted for the love of god
Comment: although initailly pausing at my mother's excitement for at least the opening passages read aloud to her in the kitchen for the first time home in three years birthday supper of chicken divan, oh what are you reading and start it safe for two to three paragraphs out loud and then hid the book from her in a second as these lips sloppily kissed memories of broken spanish arabic chessboard pieces floating across the room. the book, this book read as quick fast as can be and no wonder wonderful, chillingly, sinkingly plunge knifelike constant and swell with the rest of red and bulbous skinplump puckers. a sad analogy, rollicking heartstring ripping relentless piece of beauty but my goodness even the victims beg for more such exquisite homage to sad truth and otherwise plain endeavor to the mere task of simply enduring as one must and hopes for the next yes whiskey bar.

Summary: uh, which sea?
Comment: Yea, verily doth this bard shackle his song in a
prison of awkward poet-speak, a choke-stone
thesaurus weight clipping every obtuse metaphor-wing.
Dwelleth he in the realm of cliché hawk themes.

And yet, heaven's soulful exegesis was not a
twilight-empty wink in an ocean of sorrow-speak
but true passion was fate's casualty nonetheless!

Still ... would not a sage dwell in gloom's glassy word-shadow?
As a dove homes to cool stalactite mass,
safe surrounded by the blaze of desert's ignorance.
Silently do deep truth channels run.

5 stars! Thumbs up! A must imitate!

Summary: Profound
Comment: Most novels today come across as the bloodless rough drafts of writing
school inmates taught by spry bunglers; The Compass of that Sea strikes one
with such sheer delicate intricacy of immense artistry - a full nine years
of intense crafting went into its workmanship - utilizing high-wire
techniques begged, borrowed, bought or stolen from masters as diverse as
Beckett, Celan, Cortazar, Joyce, Schmidt, Simon, Stein and Woolf, that the reader
veritably shudders, stutters to describe it. In a word, profound!
