A Future of Remembrances

About the Book

Many of us know Jeff as a gifted teacher, a Shakespearean scholar, and a spiritual leader in our community. Now we find out that Jeff, who is preparing his first book for publication, has written delightful and engaging poems which contain wonderfully fresh images. Jeff uses words and phrasing the way French impressionists use primary colors to simulate reflected light. He is a remarkable observer of contemporary life—seen from the viewpoint of a deeply spiritual writer. Harry Card, Santa Cruz, California
