Reviews
On Aug 24 2019, a reader said:
Good poetry takes you on a journey and touches your heart. The amazing poems of Chan Sei Ghow does that and even more... it expresses thoughts within one that have finally found expression. For me it has gone another step. Robert Miller was a very dear friend. His poetry could well mirror that found in this highly personal book. His own journey took him from a television station in St. Louis, to American Samoa... from there to University of Hawaii to many places in between to finally culminate in Oregon, where his journey on this earth ended, deeply involved in his spiritual path and deeply missed by his many friends.
Reading this book will take you on a journey of your own. You will treasure it forever.
