Praise for J. R. SoloncheSolonche is productive and prolific, but that doesn't water down his poetry. .. He can compress a philosophical treatise into three lines. .. His epigrammatic tidy poems are philosophic gems. Solonche sees humor and encapsulates it; he frames a thought in perfect verse. .. He's playful and profound-the more he writes, the more he seems to know. Beneath the Solonche simplicity are significant social comments, and his goodwill reinforces the best in us. -Grace Cavalieri, Washington Independent Review of BooksSolonche, an accomplished poet, employs various forms in this compilation, including haiku, prose poem, and free verse. The poems often imaginatively enter into the natural or material world via anthropomorphic similes. .. Many works have an aphoristic quality that recall Zen koans, and they can be playfully amusing or even silly. .. A strong set of sympathetic but never sentimental observations. -Kirkus ReviewsThe best feature of Solonche's poetry is its diversity. Everyone who encounters this volume (including the postman who delivers it to you) will find something in it to understand and remember-and a great deal to enjoy. -Tony Beyer According to Lord Polonius in Hamlet, "brevity is the soul of wit. " In the poetry of J. R. Solonche, brevity, soul, and wit co-exist superbly. Start with any of his poems. You'll find, unlike much of what is written these days, the wit is never far from the surface. As for the brevity, imagine an appetizer that's as filling as a main course. And, after the meal, after the laughter, the soul will be what lingers. -John Grey
