Dream Flow: Poems

Poetry. In DREAM FLOW, a new collection of poetry by David Jaffin, one of the reasons we read poetry is redefined and clearly reinstated. "One reason why we read poems is because they refresh the language, because they bring words alive, and rub off the tarnish which accumulates in daily usage. This cleansing function is one of the most important the poet can exercise, though it is not necessarily the one which will make his work immediately popular. David Jaffin's characteristic sparseness and economy make the reader particularly keenly aware of his concern for good language, which means fresh and immediate language. He deserves to be read because he improves and extends the instrument he uses"--Edward Lucie-Smith.David Jaffin is the author of 'Dream Flow: Poems', published 2006 under ISBN 9781905700141 and ISBN 1905700148.
