Author Description

SLEEPING DRAGONS is Reyn Kinzey’s second book. Like the first one, it holds you enthralled from start to finish. As a matter of fact, I immediately went back and read it all the way through again. Reyn has a unique style, chooses interesting subjects, and interprets life with a poet’s voice all his own. The poems beautifully share his love of kayaking and his respect for the natural world; his search for ancestry and self in his travels to Ireland; touching family stories of life and death intermingled with spiritual tales of the saints – each poem a commentary, some moving, some biting, of life, today and yesterday. The stories reflect his wry humor and empathy as well as sharp observances of a man who seems to believe in wringing every ounce of life from each day and isn’t afraid to reflect back to the reader what he has seen and experienced – the beauty, the misery, and always, the truth. SLEEPING DRAGONS is an intriguing book you will enjoy and want to share with your friends. Sharon Canfield Dorsey Award winning author and poet
