Literary Revelations is thrilled to reveal the front cover of Building Sandcastles: A Book of Short Poems by C.X.Turner and James Welsh and to bring you more advanced praise for this wonderful poetry collection.
Advanced Praise:
1. Back in my art teacher days, I used to remind students when they were having difficulties that art was fundamentally an act of play. This artistic playfulness is just what we find in Building Sandcastles. Turner and Welsh dive deep into their subjects. Exploring every angle and defining every tint and shade along the way. With both broad brushstrokes and intimate details, these two poets paint the beautiful experience of their haiku worlds.

2. Building Sandcastles: A Book of Short Poems, the stunning new collection by C.X. Turner and James Welsh, is a must-have for your shelves. These thought-provoking haiku and senryu left me breathless.

I have cover envy! This for me perfection and the book a timely opportunity to read disciplined short poetry and learn – the advance praise suggests I will – looking forward to its publication – I wish success to all involved.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment Eric. It is a fabulous collection. You are a great writer of short poems. I am sure you will appreciate this book and I definitely appreciate your support and kindness.
Thank you Gabriela – apart from the pleasure of reading this book I’m looking forward to the insight into counting syllables – with my Devonian accent words tend to take on a syllable count of their own!
Haha! I would not worry about that. I love your accent and you know how to write a haiku. I have to learn how to do it. I am the one in trouble not you.
OMG the cover is sooooo Yummy Gabriela to go with the amazing collection Gabriela! love it❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️👏👏👏
Thank you so much dearest Cindy. Deeply grateful for your support.
