I Reckon

I Reckon is an honest, poignant look at the Past, from within the medium of poetry. From Alexander's experimental "forbidden haibun," where the prose sections are supported with haiku-like verse, to his unapologetic and insightful haiku, this book tells the story of growing up in Sandusky, Ohio, and other interesting locales. Childhood memories are interspersed with character studies and descriptive scenes of nature in an elegant style that is at once tender and blatant. Francis Alexander captures the Zen feel of peaceful calm while evoking all manner of emotions from the Reader. This book is already a favorite of mine--and will be one of yours as well. t.santitoro, ditor, Scifaikuest poetry magazine
