"Kamstra embraces every encounter, believing they guide him to a higher plane of existence. As a result, his poems seek to answer the voice within all of us that has wondered 'why me' or 'when will things change' and provides an encouraging answer: We have the power to evolve into something greater when we view each life experience as a valuable gift and an opportunity to be reborn." Catherine LoFrumento-Foster, Poet

"Bauke's poetry is all at once tender and surreal, bursting with a playful curiosity about the sensual lives of we humans. A poet to keep coming back to!" Brendan Bonsack, Poet, Radio 3CR

"The micro format once again brings a big presence in a small package, and Bauke's razor wit shines through with ever increasing brightness. A beacon to give us guidence in the dark places that come and go."
Tyler Salzman, Historian

"Bauke Kamstra is a writer I have read for many years and whose words can, at times, make you feel that he knows you. Or you wish to know him, to reach out and touch him, except one does not wish to take their eyes off his writing. They are as film visuals and touch you in every sense of feeling, shape and form. Some will hold your mind with its gentle hand, while others shake your thoughts, shapeshifting each movement you feel within your own life, touching you with the thoughts of others you love, have loved, held and cherished." Chey Laine, Poet
