This review is from: Vision Mixer (Paperback)

The fifty poetry collection by Duncan Forbes, Vision Mixer is a compilation of free-verse expressions and seekings written in search of understanding, from the contemplation of small creatures such as toads to meditations in quest of enlightenment to struggling to comprehend the supreme force that is God. A search for depth beyond readily apparent signs, Vision Mixer highly thought-provoking and well worth close study. "Theory": In our Greco-Roman youth / We believed in love and truth. / In post-modernist decline / Signifier questions sign.
