"Delicate, gracious, and eloquent, Brandi's poems reveal that he remains an extraordinary profound poet of prayer and praise."David St. John
"A subtly crafted compendium of geophysical/metaphysical perception shifts and non-static reflections by a world-poet, journeying yet always profoundly at home in this multi-layered Trickster world."Ken Rodgers, Kyoto Journal
"These poems shine with a Taoist sensibility and the wisdom and simplicity of self. Poems of rare precision, charm, and truth."Joanne Kyger
