And his keen, sensitive observations make for precise, sensuous and elegant poetry. It is thus not surprising that he is also a connoisseur of Franz Joseph Haydn's chamber music.

Jaffin's work, it seems to me, represents the area from which any poetic revival will have to start ... Jaffin's language is highly abstracted, sharp and original. This is not easy poetry: it is the product of American energy and a Judaic sensibility, it is intelligent and demanding.\" -\u003cem\u003eThe late Michael Butler, University of Birmingham, England\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eDream Flow\u003c\/em\u003e is a substantial collection of David Jaffin's poetry.

The limpid texture of his work resists quotation or excerption; his deceptively simple surfaces use the tensions inherent in the vocabulary to open up new horizons. Delicate creations, his poems tend to be wonderfully light lyrics.\" -\u003cem\u003ewww.bogpriser.dk, Denmark\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Jaffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848618794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848618794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.43d","brand":"David Jaffin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45934101823743,"sku":"9781848618794","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf9538aa-564a-45db-8d2f-328450627b00.jpg?v=1721790353","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/those-50-lost-days-and-david-jaffin-9781848618794","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
