I was first introduced to Feng Zhou through his beautiful collection, "By the Sea: Poems of Love, Longing and Lust." It was a lovely, paradoxical view of love and all its trappings. I became an instant fan! When I discovered that he had additional anthologies I was ecstatic and immediately purchased it. Needless to say that "Find Yourself: A Poet's Journey," has cemented my status as a lifelong fan!This exquisite introspection into the soul and mind of a poet is a compelling read that, time and again, caused me to pause and truly reflect. The poet shared histories, experiences and memories that are so relatable that you can find yourself drifted away to the edge of the woods, gaze fixed on an eagle (as in 'Eagles and Birds of Time's Straight Line') or even feel the breeze on your face and the sun warming your skin as you take in the world around you (like in 'Deep Thoughts').Regardless of your background, whether you yourself are a poet or if this is your first book of poetry, you will find a deep appreciation for the journey that you will embark upon while reading this collection. Feng Zhou has created yet another lasting and transformative work! Wonderful!
