Take a wild poetic ride through a landscape of unexpected emotions. "Reflections on a Crystal Wind" is Michael Graves' much anticipated foray into the realm of "off line" literature. His unusual approach to poetic subjects spans the spectrum from the cerebral to the deeply erotic and has won the hearts of thousands of online readers. "I was transported! It's written so beautifully; it's like an exhilarating life-lesson that feels like a ride down a mystical river" Carole Eddington/Poet, author of Midnight Snacking in True Meaning Land "He has a way of shining new light on common subjects..." Marguerite Ashton, author of Inherited Lies "Michael Graves is one of the most truly gifted poets of our time. His insight, wisdom, reflection, optimism and positive thinking are a true pleasure to enjoy, in every stack and stanza. My kinda poet. I'd love to share a beer with him, preferably rich, dark and intense!" Günther Bedson. Poet, Composer, and Scotch Whisky Connoisseur According to Graves, "Most people who read poetry want the truth to reach out through the words and grab them by the throat. They're looking for a portal through which to escape the mundane. What good is poetry if it can't provide that?"
