Beneath Your Feet Is Where The Sky Begins. Andrew Y Sano

"Beneath Your Feet Is Where The Sky Begins" is a truth told by flowers to a man living in Oakland who decides to start writing poetry after 51 years of living. A half-century of being a quiet child, good student, lover, fighter, bad waiter, terrible typist, decent painter, singer and songwriter, builder of homes and flammable buildings, cook, eater, drinker, dancer, host, guest, friend and plain human informs every word, line and stanza within this remarkable first book. Poetry not your thing? This book could change that. "Puzzled as to when you last actually felt the warm life blood pulsing in your veins?... Poetry isn't much my thing, but Mr. Sano's poems have made me literally gasp, laugh out loud in public, and also cry in public. "Exquisite" is the only word I can find."
Diane Gibbs "I'm not a huge fan of poetry because it just goes over my head unless it's written "just so". But I've been lurking on this writer's poetry blog for a good year now, and what keeps bringing me back is the sound of thundering, unabashedly cloven hooves trampling clichés, and when the dust settles it kind of feels like you've just been kissed by chaos. If that makes any sense. Buy this book. It's a goodie." Karry Walker
