Pierre Joris is a word-wizard who shines light on the soul itself. His poems are precious jewels - compact, crystalline structures - each containing their own unique secrets, guiding you to undiscovered places, feelings, images, and ideas. It's impossible to read his work and come away unmoved. Magically inspiring! - John Zorn
