***Poetry to breathe in, by one of Twitter's most popular micropoets.***
In his fourth collection, Bauke Kamstra presses even deeper into the unknown and unknowable of human nature, even as he raises micro-poetry to a new formal perfection with a virtuosity that is as vibrant and revelatory as it is fluid and natural. Rife with the lush, concise sensuality of Basho’s greatest haiku, yet laughing in the face of strangling constraints, these poems explore the relationship between human and air, breathing, space, and an apprehensive grounding in reality. A sense of need will take you on a varied voyage beyond the farthest edge of desire, only to leave you craving more.
This is a book for savoring, for relishing, for sharing with the world. The ebook version comes as a gift with this book, and within the digital copy are links with each poem to share with your followers on Twitter. We want to change the world by injecting beauty and passion, and you can help us do that by sending these words out. Provoke conversation and bring some style and charm to your social media presence.

***Poetry to drown in, by one of Twitter's most popular micropoets.***
As in Volumes 1 and 2, the poems comprising Volume 3 are as succinct as they are spellbinding. With a sensuality that suggests a new Song of Songs, and themes exploring the relationship between human and water, these poems don’t just delve more deeply into the passion of the lover. They form a fugue-like dialogue with the beloved that explores both the innocent elation and worldly debasement of sexuality as a beautifully rendered conceit for the spiritual seeker’s relations with the divine.

***Poetry to lust for, by one of Twitter's most popular micropoets.***
Bauke Kamstra’s words are sparse and minimalistic. They focus on the human body: love, lust, and the physicality between lover and lover or mother and child. People and their penchant for sensuality is infinitely alluring. We see each other through filters of attraction, always passionate, always complex. We are all involved in the search for beauty, but the artist is dedicated to a search that breaks conventional boundaries ... one that is still wholly human.

We All Reach the Earth by Falling
01/10/2014
$3.99
“In this stunning collection, Bauke Kamstra has scooped out the hollow of nature and returned with the expressions of its soul. Everywhere the poet looks, he sees acutely: a tree ‘has earned/its suffering/and its pieces/falling,’ and of the people who live in its river weathering, Kamstra remembers that ‘my mother's accordion/played so/many hymns/but the ecstasy/was all hers.’
“From the opening poem, in which a woman’s washing reveals her violence, to his lament that he is returning with a war poem but not his leg, ‘because my leg died there,’ Kamstra reveals himself as a deeply gifted poet. Emily Dickinson would have kept this collection nearby.”
Charles Bane, Jr., author of The Chapbook, Love Poems; creator of The Meaning Of Poetry series for the Gutenberg Project, current nominee as Poet Laureate of Florida.
