by Don Campbell (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
ENTER is a collection of powerfully personal poetry, highly crafted, yet boldly direct.

"That someone could literally "hemorrhage" words onto paper like a raped jugular vein...as I read, I paused to wonder just how, if he kept one, his diary would read. Then I realized, these treasures ARE his diary. Invading his privacy is delicious and raw with life."—Alex Salisbury

"Wondrous, pithy, trenchant."—Stephen Goldman

5.0 out of 5 stars if you like shoveling horse manure .., July 23, 2006

By	N. Jackson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

you'll love this collection of poetry by the kingfisher.
it digs deep into the depths of human depravity.
i couldn't get enough of it myself.
i found it up here in toronto in a reduced book bargain bin and i'm satisfied to say it was worth the 99 cents i paid for it.
it'll make you think and make you think you stink, but don't worry cuz you will definetly need a shower after putting it down.
tight words mr. campbell! all hail!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book makes me feel blessed, July 23, 2006

By	vee vee "veevee" (des moines) - See all my reviews

I was lucky enough to stumble across Don "Kingerfisher" Campbell's fine book at a garage sale. I almost did not make this purchase because the seller wanted to sell it for $.15 (fifteen cents) and I only was willing to spend .10 n(ten cents). After haggling for 45 minutes we finally agreed on a price of $.12 (twelve cents). I felt sort of bad at first for spending so much, but after reading this book I felt good about my purchase and like I had gotten my money's worth. Don Campbell's poetry has inspired me to be all I can be and to see the humour and poetry in each and every day. I have also started writing poetry under the inspiration of Don Campbell. Don "kingfisher" Campbell is truly a gifted writer. I do believe that he is second only to ee cummings. I have laughed and cried reading Don Campbell's fine book of poetry.

4.0 out of 5 stars Real life/all emotions/ no waiting..., July 11, 2002

By	Jack G. Bowman MA "jgbowman" (Pasadena CA.) - See all my reviews

Mr. Campbell aka (the Poet Guru of the San Gabriel Valley)
gives us a look at not only a personal part of his day to day existence, but the mind of a Father, Teacher, Husband, Son and Grandson as he deals with everything from sex to fast food to fear and death, part intellectual, part observer, he sees all obstacles and describes them to us before losing his lunch.
Well worth owning to read again and again!
