"WATER FALLS IN AUTUMN" is the author's vigorous attempt to understand himself and the world as seen through his eyes. This collection was written over the course of four months, after completing and outpatient rehabilitation program for alcoholism. He leads us through the distorted emotional struggle in his mind, through the reality of confronting his addiction, and the reasoning for his escapism. He reverts to his past, taking the reader on his travels and lessons learned in Japan, and also introduces the woman that acted as a catalyst to his recovery. This collection of poetry creates a smooth, prose-like transition from piece to piece and encourages the reader to dig deep within their soul and question how their perceptions have been formed and skewed by their own minds. The author's documented struggles with alcoholism and life, is read as another man's lesson.

Customer Reviews

C. Ishii from New York , NY
 I am a lucky owner of both Water Falls in Autumn and his first book, The Old Leather Room. It has been wonderful to see how his writing has progressed from his first book to this one. Water Falls in Autumn is a powerful look into the journey of a very remarkable man who finds peace with himself. A definite must-read!
