Poetry. I especially enjoy the tone of the poems in Chris Hoffman's book, REALIZATION POINT, the union of his voice with the details and individual lives of his surroundings. Hoffman's language and his close observation of the day, the night, and the moment become one in this work, along with his gratitude for each aspect of the living world and his presence within it.--Pattiann RogersChris Hoffman's poems speak with a clear meditative voice that bridges the gap between our human lives and the healing spirit of nature.--Joseph Bruchac
