Prose poems from award winning author Dean J. Baker. Moving beyond the reach of Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarme, these works are embodiment of those half-glimpsed thoughts and feelings casually dismissed which are noted to yield the greatest results of self-knowledge combined with a easily deeper awareness. works are embodiment of those half-glimpsed thoughts and feelings casually dismissed which are noted to yield the greatest results of self-knowledge combined with a easily deeper awareness. In this magnum opus, we can see that while Sartre said 'hell is other people' and Blake was given to 'To see Heaven in a grain of sand', Dean J. Baker moves beyond these apperceptions with a full appreciation and gratitude for the forms of writing and the thoughts of such, and proves that while we may be and become what we think, we can take delight that we can be of this world through these works, while at the same time transcending any narrow limits set by a world bound to constriction and thus, control. Like poetry itself, they illustrate the rebellious sharpness of focus encouraging a wider dimension of thought and expression, and therefore a more expansive understanding of the world around. Inclusive of the individual's inner world, these prose poems lift up the reader through a finer personal awareness into a more thorough comprehension of how inner and outer worlds connect and influence each other. Dimension and perception are intensely felt and focused upon, resulting, as with all great works, in a refreshing, and inspiring - as well as challenging - renewal of the reader's attention, appreciation, and comprehension of their own ability to alter the world through a training of disordered thoughts and feelings by way of a finer focus. Recovering barely seen perceptions, bearing witness to thoughts dismissed, these prose poems show that it is by a fierce light upon these that further understanding is granted, the ability to perceive made more lean and true no matter the individual's prior methods of discerning their inner or outer worlds. By going forth into the world of these works; experiencing fully the pleasure and joy inherent in each, and in the completeness of the book, they give back to the reader the greatest gift: themselves, with a finer ability to become more of whom they can and desire to be by moving beyond the narrow confines of perception dictated by ever decreasing widely accepted, and so-called, normal perceptions."
