Spring Wanderings
J. H. Martin
Rivers & Lakes Press
People's Republic of China
(c) 2009
I found this book in an antique shop in rural PA about a month ago. It's a beautifully made book that by my calculations ought to be a "chapbook" but isn't. The publisher, Rivers & Lakes Press, is located in China. The book was printed there in 2009. There seems to be a website for the press but it's as vague as the material about the press and the author IN the book.
The poetry itself is beautiful and mysterious. It reflects the country that the work is about (China). The "biographic notes" about the author lend much to vague generalities and vapor trails. The "bio" ends :
"Wherever he is, whatever he is doing I wish him good luck and hope that, somehow, he may
see this slim volume one day."
Indeed so.
